Don’t be hard on yourself

    Beginning programming is fun to say the least but sometimes, it can become very frustrating. One may come accross a programming challenge that he/she may like to solve but just can’t solve it. Its not because you are dumb, nor is it that you can not think well or that programming was not meant for you. Its just because like a child you are in your formative years of programming and as such there will be times you will fall. I normally go through this phase from time to time and i even sometimes feel depressed but i have come to realise that it is not that i do not have the brains to solve the question at hand but just that i do not know enough to dice and slice the programming problem. The remedy, i do more research, get to know the problem well enough in order to define it well and sometimes i just leave the problem alone. After sometime i come back to it with a new mindset.

It works for me i do not know if it will for you.
