I did pretty much like he advised, though I haven't seen this article before now.
I got bored at high school and life in general. I discovered programming and thought that it's fascinating. So I decided to learn programming. I self-learned and started building my own projects, big and small.
But now a couple years after my biggest regret is exactly the same, why did I waste so much time at high school and why didn't I start earlier.
- swagasaurus-rex 8y agoThere is plenty of time to learn the things we want to learn. How long does it take to get a bachelors in college? 4 years? How many years do we have in a lifetime? Not including our youth? 60? 70? All it takes is dedication and persistence to learn the things we want to learn.

- Aeolun 8y agoYou disagree? If so, why? Persistence is a pretty good quality to have for learning most anything.
- techslave 8y agoas the years go by, one accumulates baggage. if one has lived a life that is. in the form of debt obligations, family obligations, healthcare costs if unlucky, risk aversion and so on. my own example, i have literally zero free time to pursue any opportunities at all, whatsoever. i work, i come home and take care of family, i sleep for a precious few hours, repeat. dedication ain’t the issue. and i’m a highly paid worker. the people that live 2 hours away, the g bus drivers and so on, they do not have opportunities that can be addressed merely be dedication.
