I’ve been through a lot of upheaval since I touched this world of programming.

A world that caused me: Nerves, Anger, and I almost reached the point where I wanted to leave this field dozens of times. But on the other hand, I am very happy that my cousin (a developer with many years of experience and a great love for the field) has revealed to me this crazy world and helps me to this day. First of all, I say thank you very much for that Dima Vishnevetsky :)

I highly recommend you having a professional mentor you trust, It’s will make your way much easier and pleasant.

Now let’s go back to my story. Before I started programming, I worked in all sorts of jobs that were physically and I was used to being on my feet and moving all the shift: Cook, Pastry, Bartender, Waiter and the list goes on…

The transition to the programming world changed my life at 180 degrees!

It was very hard for me to suddenly start sitting for hours on my ass and learning JavaScript. I took all kinds of JavaScript related courses, In retrospect, many of them were just confusing, Therefore, it is important to check carefully and be careful to learn from professional people and with a reputation in the field.

I felt that no matter how long I was sitting and studying I could not figure out this “difficult and complicated thing called JavaScript”. I was stressed by concepts that were new to me, But the hardest thing for me was how I got to the point where I started thinking like a programmer.

I thought that programming, it’s only for “geniuses”. I was very anxious that this is a very logical field and that’s why I will never be able to understand all of these. Without noticing I actually put myself into a “phobia of JavaScript” and programming at all. I was a man that if something was hard for him, then I would immediately retire from the field without fighting too much.

This time it was different, despite all the difficulty something did not let me give up and retire. I felt that I was learning something that was really high value and on the other hand, I had my mentor (my cousin) who was aiming and helping me.

So I said before that it was very important to be helped by someone who cared about you & your success.

In conclusion Friends, There is nothing we cannot learn!

The secret is daily perseverance and not give up!!!

As time passes I feel that I am learning more, getting better and loving the field more. I hope this article will help and motivate programmers at the beginning of their careers or those who have difficulties on the way.

Good luck to us all!
