Dear All,

I believe when you hear someone saying Learning from Mistakes, you must have been already known this statement. But you might not have heard Learning from Mistakes in Coding.

Just a short story. I started my first coding is when I was 10 years old, and I still remember that it was Basica and some little DBase coding. I made so many mistakes back then. Right now, I am 29 years old, and coding is h0w I do for living. Somehow people just love to use my code writing and I always enjoy coding.

But it is not easy to survive in coding for 19 years. For your information, now I am impressed of using Java Programming Language, which I have been doing in the last 5 years. And again, I am not ashamed of making mistakes, but I learn from those mistakes. Here are a few tips for you:

• Learning is a matter of making mistakes, so don’t push yourself too hard of not making mistake. The more you think of not making mistake, the less you will get your hands dirty of coding.
• Always learn from someone more experienced.
• Never think that you’re an expert and know everything.
• Join communities.
• Keep learning and learning, and NEVER stop learning.
• Remember that when you’re mastering a technology, it is worthless if it is not applicable to society, so try hard for making your technology be used by your customers.
• And the last thing is that you have to keep your life balanced, physical and spiritual.
