RE: Tutorial Hell : Dont get trapped into this

in OCD5 years ago

I've always felt that maybe, just maybe, I'll go straight at something with minimal guidance or learning. There are few things I hate more than reading instructions and tutorials. They're important for those that can stand by and listen, and especially if you're going into it the first time. But every time I've found something I interesting, like "how to do computer programming in these simple steps", I normally bookmark them because they're interesting, only to immediately say "nah, too boring".

For better or worse, this is how I've done things, and I've learnt them through my own common sense, and much trial and error. I guess the best teacher in any subject is not to wait around reading tutorials and whatnot, but to just go ahead and "do it"! Every mistake and failure is a lesson learned, and they only serve to make you stronger in times to come!

I can really relate to that 😄 . I bookmark so many things and don't get back to it later. I dont remove them from the bookmark because I think I might need it later.
I think you have a really good mindset and that will get you far in life. You could watch dozens of tutorial on how to swim, but unless you really get into the water you'll never learn. Yes, you'll swallow water few times at first but that's how we improve. :)

That's the purest, most clear way to describe it! I'm still not sure how far I can go, since the road ahead lies with trials and tribulations aplenty, but it's always great to try, and push the boundaries just that bit further than where you once thought it was possible. Don't think much about where you'll end up, but more on where and how you'll get there :-)

Your philosophies are the kind that I read in motivational books and is really inspiring to be honest. If you ever write a book, let me know, I'll buy it. 😁

Thanks, I might include an autograph, too! 😄
