Outreachy: Everyone Struggles

Welcome to blog 2!

"We all face challenges and struggles in life, and this is especially true when it comes to coding projects. As the famous quote by Walt Disney goes, 'The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.' However, sometimes it can be difficult to even get started, let alone persevere through the challenges that come our way.

For the past weeks, I've been trying to learn a couple of things and gather feedback from mentors as I progress, which is a painfully a struggling process as it gets very difficult to understand some workflows and what exactly is needed.
Nevertheless, giving up is not an option; we shall see how this goes in the future and it must end well!

In this blog post, we'll explore the struggles that come with working on your/my project, and how to overcome them. Whether you're participating in a program like Outreachy or working on a personal project, these tips and insights from famous individuals can help you stay motivated and focused on your project goals."

"It's not about the end result, it's about the journey." - Oprah Winfrey

One of the biggest struggles that many coders face is the pressure to produce perfect results. However, as Oprah reminds us, it's important to focus on the journey and the process of learning and growth, rather than just the end result. This can help reduce anxiety and stress, and allow you to enjoy the experience of working on your coding project.

"Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things." - J.K. Rowling

Another common struggle that coders face is fear of failure or insecurity in their abilities. It's important to remember that everyone has to start somewhere, and it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them. As J.K. Rowling advises, don't let fear or insecurity hold you back from trying new things and pushing your limits.

"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

It's easy to get caught up in doubts and negative thoughts when working on a coding project. However, as Franklin D. Roosevelt reminds us, the only thing that can limit our potential is our own doubts. It's important to stay positive and believe in yourself, even when things get tough.

Conclusion:

"As you work on your coding project, remember that every one struggles at some point. It's important to stay motivated and focused, and to remember that the journey is just as important as the end result. Keep these words of wisdom from famous individuals in mind, and you'll be well on your way to overcoming any challenges that come your way."
