You know what nobody talks about?

When you learn any new skill you are going to look like an idiot.

You are new to programming? Good. You are either going to ask stupid questions, possibly be laughed at or never grow.

You are learning basketball? Good. You will be lucky to make a 3-pointer out of 20 tries and possibly be laughed at.

But you know what? Everyone goes through this... but most give up before they start seeing results: "Oh, I am not talented enough to study math."

Do not be scared to look like an idiot. It's a small price to pay considering how much you grow.

First month, you will be an idiot. Next month, you will be reasonably smart. And a few months later, people will talk as if you are  a guru.
