Believe in yourself?
-
This time I don't want to ask you guys for help, but I like to give you an advise. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO ACHIEVE WHAT YOU WANT. A few months ago I asked here a question about a problem I had during debugging my own written application. And there was somebody tried to insult me by saying that, what I was doing, it was too complex for me. Actually I didn't like his answer :mad:, I had the feeling he's a selfish person:~ . So I continued my search for a solution of my problem and finally I found it. Now my application (for client/server chat) is working well, I like to share my experience with you that you have to believe in your capability. Don't let other people destroy your dream.:cool: And I also want to thank other programmers here who make time free to answer questions.:rose: Greetz Nordin from Holland.

This is soapbox/lounge material :-D Secondly... The response you got was probably due to you asking a vague question... Like: I'm using a CListCtrl and I can't add items... When I read questions like that I answer with... Your probably not experienced enough...go back to using VB. If your too lazy to narrow your problem to something more specific, then I assume it's laziness or inexperience in debugging... You are right about believing in yourself...thats key to success...so instead of asking a question the minute something goes wrong, have faith in yourself and narrow your problem down until you either solve it or it's specific enough someone knows whats going on and it can be answered. I'm sure many of us are guilty of jumping the gun and posting a question before we even try to solve it (myself included) but atthe same time you can't be mad when someone gets disappointed by your lack of interest in your own source code...and makes a comment like...your a beginner or whatever... Just my 2 cents... It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

:-DGood answer! :confused:Question: Why does this not work? "char *ch; ch = 'a';" :doh:Answer: Because you do not know what you are doing! ;)At least that is what I feel like saying. Usualy I try to solve the problem myself. So that by the time I do ask a question there are very few peaple who can answer it. Once in a while I'll ask a question while in the middle of researching for the answer, in hopes that I can short cut my research a little.

I generally reply like that because I want to scare you. You are over your head when you ask some questions, and you have two choices. Giving an answer your your question is the wrong thing to do, because you need to learn to research this on your own (often for other useful information you will learn while finding the answer). Your first choice when this happens is to push on through, believe in yourself, and just solve it no matter how hard it is. It will take time and effort, but you become a better person for it. The other choice is to give up. This takes no effort, but it doesn't waste your time, nor does it waste our when when you hit the next road block (should we answer the question) that you can't solve. For most people this is the right thing to do, simply because they will give up eventially anyway. You are one of the rare people who fall into the first catagory. Now take a step back, would you have learned as much about the problem if we gave you all the answers? Could you even have solved it? My guess is you learned a lot along the way, much of which is important, but not something you would have thought to ask.
