How you can be like JavaScript

JavaScript is a programming language that is in wide usage today. Virtually all websites and web applications implements one form of JavaScript code or the other, in fact, any website or web application that makes use of HTML 5 API's is made up of some form of JavaScript code because most of the HTML 5 API's were written in JavaScript.

Frameworks are now dominating the web space, almost all enterprise level applications are built using frameworks, however, the most popular and most used frameworks are mostly JavaScript frameworks.

However, the question that buggles my mind is how did this small programming language written by one man become one of the most widely adopted programming language.

JavaScript was written by a man known as Brendan Eich in the year 1995, surprisingly, it took Brendan Eich only 10 days to write this very popular programming language called JavaScript.

Due to the short period of time used to write the language, JavaScript as a language had lots of errors embedded in it but despite those errors, it was still implemented in major browsers and virtually all browsers.

In order to correct those errors, different modifications were carried out on the language and the most popular been the ECMA Script 6 or ECMA 2015.

JavaScript is a language based on ECMA script which is a standard for scripting languages and is been governed by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA).

You too can become like JavaScript, a language full of errors that rose to become one of the most popular programming languages.

I don't know the stage of your professional career that you are currently on, you might be at the stage where your potentials are yet to fully manifest, probably, you are full of errors like JavaScript, you don't have good communication skills, don't have what it takes to get things done, cannot meet set targets in the workplace and generally seen as an under achiever and under performer.

Don't beat yourself down, you too can ride from a nobody to a somebody, from an under achiever to an over achiever, you too can become the new biggest and most sought after individual in your industry, you just have to consistently work on yourself.

πŸ’₯ Invest your time, energy and money in your growth and development,

πŸ’₯ Show up but don't show off,

πŸ’₯ Trust your process,

πŸ’₯ Look up the Giants in your industry and follow their foot steps and in no time, you will become one of the the most valuable persons (MVP) in your industry.

If JavaScript can, You will.
