I ever give up on my goals ,I may fall 4 times but I get back up 5 times . Things get difficult along the way but life is a learning experience . The problems we run into help us to learn and expand on our knowledge , keep going brother , you’ll soon be a father too . Stand strong

Actually, programmer's psychology is unfortunately not much of a concern for the software world. However, programmers and developers are ultimately concerned with the core part of the software, the executable code, what the producers think of what they think, how they think, how they go through their intellectual processes while doing their jobs, how difficult and focused they are and how versatile and rating is important.

You can't expect to remember everything in your first go!! That's why we have the concept of repetition. Make yourself a chart and write down what you have finished on what day and make sure you're revisiting everything after a certain time period. You can try Anki software which is a spaced repetition programme. I found it quite useful.

Oh man, I've been there too. Not with coding necessarily, but with other things. One of the best things I've learned (for myself at least) is that I have to time myself, and then have breaks otherwise I start getting distracted and then burnt out since it feels like I've been doing nothing. If I time myself and have to work for say 30 minutes with no distractions, and then have a ten minute break where I can go do whatever, it significantly helps my work ethic, the amount of work I get done, and helps me feel more efficient. If I don't, I'll work half-heartedly and waste lots of time while I feel like I'm "working". Best of luck! Keep up the faith man

@cryptoctopus,
I'm pretty happy about this one. It's quite simple but I understand the code really well and could probably do it with my eyes closed at this point.

HTML, CSS, JS, yeah now you are doing perfectly. Excellent and this code is working very smoothly! As you said Faith is more powerful than we can imagine., yeah you are proving it to the community! Great work friend, go ahead!

@cryptoctopus - Sir, when programmer finished a coding at it has no errors & it functioning 100% correct, I think it's one of the wonderful feeling Sir... I saw my husband in that feelings... I think you have the same feeling too Sir... We can say anything, specially we can show weaknesses or bad features of software & websites, but no one cares about the psychological level of the developer who behinds that project... How many codes he needs to write to run a particular button click no one cares... Due to his faith on his job & the work he is doing, we got such user friendly interfaces & etc Sir...
You did a good work... You believe on faith... You made the success, fantastic Sir... Your coding are working well... Nice you decided to share this incredible post Sir...

It is from the movie Company Men : "I have faith, courage, enthusiasm". Beginning stages sucks, it is frustrating but we can not give up. It is just our subconscious mind staying in our way from going outside of comfort zone. Faith is essential in all of this.

"So I resolved myself to not lose faith until I get to what I'm aiming for."

This is called perseverance and in my opinion it's much more important than faith alone. Even if you lose faith from time to time (because it happens for short periods, no matter what you do), you have to keep doing what you do in order to reach your goals. Consistent action, practicing every day, learning and trying new things; I think these are the most important things.

Oh, yes, my friend, I am very glad that you have solved the problem with coding and I congratulate you on this! You correctly said in this post that having faith in yourself and your strength can achieve true success, because the strength of the human spirit lies in the ability to look with interest and optimism in an unpredictable future. It is the belief that there is a way out of any embarrassing situation, and all disagreements can be resolved. Even when you think that the whole world is against you, even when the black band is very long. You must believe in yourself and stand up to the end. In order not to happen, I believe that when a person believes in himself, he does not fear any obstacles and difficulties in life. Believing in yourself is the accomplishment of the tasks set, it makes life interesting, rich and happy! I congratulate you @cryptoctopus once again on your success and wish you even greater achievements!

Faith and optimism drive us forward, even when the outcome is bleak or uncertain. The chance of success is only 0% if you fail to give it your all. Good luck to you in your coding journey, the interface on your todo list is already looking great, stock up on potions and never give up! Building blocks of knowledge built upon each other combined with hard work and effort will construct the future you desire!

Also, good job with the three considerations for what the browser supports natively, nice.

Indeed, without faith not much can be achieved. If I want to achieve something, I always have faith that I will be able to do it no matter what. I know how powerful it is to have faith in yourself, because I used to be a procrastinator looking for ways to slack off of my goals. If something didn't go my way I always gave up. When I realized that I'm going nowhere with that kind of mindset, I changed my way of thinking that I could do anything if only I believed that I can do it. It's very important to have faith even if not everything is going the way you planned it to go. In time hard work and dedication will pay off.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

Dr. Stephen R. Covey

Keep yourself motivated and do whatever you want with consistency. Coding isn't something magic that common people can't master it. We both are on the same journey of becoming a developer and will get to our destinations for sure!

Infact, I just wrote a post about my sources of motivation, you can read it if you have time and let me know what you think about Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation!

The biggest challenge in coding is keeping your head up when something goes wrong, you can sit for hours and come out with nothing but one the best feelings in the world is the feeling you get when your code finally works.
However, if you lose faith and hope when it goes wrong, you probably will never get to feel that awesome feeling.

Keep working at it! Believing that you can do something is such an important factor. For example, it's amazing how much better athletes perform when their team, coach, and fanbase believe that they are capable of playing well. So many talented athletes play terribly once they stop having faith in themselves, even if they still have the physical skill to perform well.

The expression “just have faith, it will work out” is used by people to encourage and comfort someone facing serious problems and for sure this has happened many times and has also worked too. Sometimes when we are faced with stressful situations, does faith as described in the Bible, does it really work? Yes it does and that’s what happened in this case.

I can feel the message so hard. This last week, for an instant the dash lights and speedometer worked on my car, thay haven't worked since we bought the thing for a stipend, so seeing that, I was resolved to troubleshoot my way through this new project I found before myself.

I was always into computers, and did a god amount of work, putting them together, troubleshooting them, finding solutions to hardware and software issues. However, I was completely ignorant about cars in anything but the most basic physics of how an engine does work.
In comes that f-word. I had to have faith, not only in myself, but in the information I was finding for my old Japanese late 90's coupe. After some research I found the bulb replacements, a speedometer replacement, and a couple of tear-downs to plan for what lay ahead.

The parts were supposed to come in this last Saturday, but only the bulbs did. The now speedometer cluster was delayed to Monday. Undeterred I set forth in my dash tear-down to at least replace the bulbs. I went with LEDs, because the halogens were very dim when they did come on, and I had hardly noticed they were working that night they suddenly came and went. After making sure the battery was unplugged and the air bag system had enough time to power down, I ripped into the dash, disconnected the cluster, and went about replacing the bulbs one by one. I knew that LED's were sensitive to which direction they are plugged into the socket so I expected to have to repeat the process multiple times te get the desired lighting with a really slow A-B selection process (like the optometrist 'is A better or B? A.... B.....') involving a reassembly and connection, reconnect the battery, try the lights, disconnect battery, wait 5 minutes, disconnect cluster to refit the bulb, and repeat. Wasn't the most efficient, but it worked!

The next day and the new/old speedometer came in, one last quick disassembly (I was like a NASCAR pit-crewman at that point), four screws, reassemble, reconnect and test later around the block, and for the first time, I had a car completely (almost) repaired to expected working condition.

I need a dome light, and a couple new headlights wouldn't hurt, and I'll have it up to full working order, aside from AC problems and other minor things like a radio.

I guess my point was, I had to have faith to even take the first step in that adventure, and all the way through, that what I was doing was correct and that the information provided to me was accurate and credible, and that I was skilled enough to do it all without any major incident.

For all of that I was blessed, but then this morning the other car started having major electrical issues (non-existent turnover,and full power outage when you tried, until you wiggled terminal connection wires, rinse wash repeat) THAT ONE, will have to go to the pros!

I'm sorry for the wall of text, but if you made it this far, thanks for listening, I needed to get that off my chest.

edit: here's a picture, after the lights were in, but before the speedo was replaced

This reminds me of a Wayne Dyer book "You Will See It When You Believe It".

Whether you use the term faith or belief or whatever, it all means the same: seeing the outcome before it happens. All great ones do this. Jack Nicklaus was known to see every shot before he hit it. Tom Seaver went through the entire lineup the night before pitch by pitch in his head.

Faith is more powerful than we can imagine.

This is what separates the little me from the big me. The little me likes to say I can't or it won't work out...big me knows all realms of possibility exist in this universe...it is just a matter of tapping into it.
