I don't think the phrase "Never give up" is worldly. But I also don't think one should give up easily.

Programming has always been my passion - Except when I was hit by psychosis. Back in 2013I was a very talented kid who'd be not enough fortunate to have programming as his career. I did what-not. Just a year later I was hit by psychosis and things went so downhill from that year, it will go downhill for at least the next couple of years, due to factors outside of my control. I can improve myself, but my status and all my problems won't disappear as I learn more and more skills. Surely it'd require some stabilization before I can live a normal life.


I am not going to get a PhD as I've planned since quite a while, I don't want to dwell in the unknown all my life, I've had enough stress and trauma and uncertainty already. So I hope the stabilization will come early.

But here's the one thing I've learned - It's easy to learn once you love what you are doing or have a strong desire or need for something in your mind.

I've been programming in C since today. Got Atom installed. Spent hours, frustrated, trying to make it compile. I noticed due to lack of my observation (the C/C++ IDE ide-clang plugin requires a theme and a compiler infrastructure called as LLVM) I easily spent hours looking for a simple solution.

And in my defense, Windows is not an easy or forgiving environment for any developer who does not use .NET framework/C# language. (This is a Micro$oft policy) I am going to switch to Ubuntu, it's just a matter of time, but I have not yet. I also noticed if I try another option than the one I already have, I may have less trouble.

So yes, I am not going to get a PhD but still try to get a respected and doable job. That may include a ticket to the US for a better job prospect. Or maybe starting my own business. All I know, is that I have got all the ingredients within me and all I need to do is work hard enough to achieve what I want. Simple.

So this is the "success story" of me, which is in stage 0. It's started just now. I want to make it to the final stage, which is a long way in development but I can program through it. I may not become a doctor, to hell with that if I cannot, I'll just let the thought go. I may not become a police officer, to hell with that also. But I'll still try to continue serving mankind, because it's my will.
