Please: Don't Give Up!!!!

5 replies
Hi Guys,

I have noticed that some people here seem to be having a hard time with archiving success on the internet. My background is that of a software engineer. I remember 10 years ago. I won employee of the month for implementing a button that said "Calculate Tax" on a software application. Haven't you heard the message of make money with my "Push Button" system or something along those lines.

Well.. When I won employee of the month. Most people outside of IT didn't really understand why I won an award just for putting a little "Push Button" on an app. It just seemed too darn simple right???

What they didn't know. It took me and my development team 3+ months of coding and testing to ensure that "pennies" weren't lost due to certain sales tax rules for various states. We were working with a third party API web service. So the amount of work that went on "behind the scenes" to achieve this simple push button to calculate tax was "invisible" to most people.

Having the skills that I have has given me a little advantage in the game. There are certain things that are visible to me in this digital world. That are completely invisible to those that might be newer to the internet world of business.

So I understand where your frustration comes from. I feel it!! I feel the pain that you live.

So for what it's worth to my fellow friends who want to make it so badly.
Please.. I beg of you. DO NOT GIVE UP!!!

Learn, Learn, Learn and Learn again.

Trust me!!! As the light bulb came on for me to understand software and the digital world.
It will come on for you. Just keep pushing on!! You have someone out there that wants you to succeed. I and other warriors want you to!

    Thanks for the motivation, Mark! It's always good to stumble on an inspirational thread now and then.

    There can be times so difficult that the "IMPOSSIBLE" word keep flashing in our mind. And once most people think about the "impossibility" the only thing left to do is to just "Give Up". However those who keep going will certainly reap the rewards, as, as far as it can be, they will certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel!

    You never truly fail until you give up.

    Imagine your brain like a filing cabinet. As you consume knowledge through article after article, video after video, book after book and podcast after podcast, the filing cabinet becomes fuller and fuller.

    At some point, you need to sit back and organise all of these pieces of information and when you do that, it will click.

    The light bulb will turn on and light up the path you have been uncovering piece by piece.

    Learning is fundamental, though unfortunately a lot of people miss the part about taking all of the pieces of the path they are uncovering and putting them into the correct order so that they can see the way.

    very inspiring. I think most people tap into the 'not so smooth' way to success due to lack of resources like time, money, knowledge, etc.
    But when we follow thru, the way n money will come our way
