I remind myself that Education is not a race to finish first.
It is only a race against myself to learn what I can do well.
For me, the paradox of Education is that you learn the extent of your knowledge.
Q. What am I good at doing?
Q. What areas do I need help in?
Education is not learning everything, that's impossible. Carpenters don't learn to build every imaginable home. They learn how to use their tools well. Carpenters do not build skyscrapers. They know what the limits of building with wood are.
Yes, knowing our limits is what ultimately allows us to be useful without grinding ourselves down. If we had to know everything, we could never rest and we'd always have to learn at a lightning-fast speed as technology changes quickly. If we know our tools and the limits of those tools, we can accept the work that we're capable of and let the rest pass us.
Excellent point Matt!
Agree with you, Matt!
Especially in it's impossible to learn everything!
Thanks so much for sharing this, @adiatiayu - so much honesty and truth.
I really love the note to your future self:
Ayu & Ella,
HEAR, Hear.
If I didn't say it before, I'll say it now.
Thank you for sharing and starting this thread/discussion.
Thank you for reading and giving such great tips, Matt!
Thank you so much for reading, @ellativity 😊
Yes, I really need to remind my future self 😄
This is an important article. It gave me the nudge that I needed to slow down as I've been feeling a bit stressed and discouraged myself. You give really great tips on combatting it, and I will be putting these into practice.
Your post has inspired me to share some of my struggles in a post of my own. Thank you!
Thank you for reading, and I'm glad if it helped you in some way, Anita! 😀
I hope you would get much better after slowing down, and looking forward to read your post! 😄
"Why can't I understand it? Why am I doing this while I should learn and try harder?"
Thanks for this honest pain sharing. I felt that sometimes! :P
"The only thing I can compare is where I am now and where I was before" This is the waaaaay, yaaaay!
Thank you for reading and welcome to CodeNewbie! 😃
There are many ways to do networking and be in a community.
CodeNewbie is defenitely one of them!
If you find anyone who has same interest as you (language, skill, etc.), you can follow them and send them private message.
I'm not quite sure if only you who need to follow them, or they have to follow you back for you to be able to send message. But you can always drop comment and ask if they're into some discussions.
If you're on Twitter, you can follow tech ppl and see how it goes from there. That's how I found my communities 😊
I've wrote a blogpost about how I found my communities here. Hopefully it helps 😄
This is a good read. Thank you for sharing. I also experienced this before, and my personal solution is to exercise. I had this itchy feeling that it will wake up the brains in my muscles to process the learning contents faster. Just a metaphor. Good luck to us newbies!
Thank you for reading, @blitzdex27 ! 😀
Excercise is one great solutions as well!
Glad that you've overcome it 😊
Thank you for reading 😄
I really do hope that you're doing much better now, @jasonbraganza !
Great read
Thank you and also for reading, @ben 😊
I keep thinking I've learnt this lesson and then end up needing to learn it again. So this was a good reminder.
Thanks, Nic!
It happens to me too! That's why I wrote this post one of the reasons is as self-reminder 😄
