A Will

While its output looks quite simple, I wrote its code running on almost nothing but sheer determination. I had barely slept, and it showed, an intense anxiety, and in a state I could only describe as almost lost, yet I completed it, and so many others, because I wanted to. Prior to Seneca, that would have never been the case, and that taught me how effective a will could be. A will comes with an intense determination and persistence, something I intend to take with me in whatever I find worth doing.

Prioritizing and Organizing

But, while will supported my passion, my lack of sleep and adequate nutrition took its toll on me, crippling my plans. So I began planning my days better, giving priority to both myself and other aspects of my life, as I realized how essential so many other things are. In response to these new changes, I learned to manage my time, stress, and meet tight deadlines without running myself to the ground. Aided by adequate sleep, a nurtured calmness of mind, and new habits, I began working much more efficiently.

Details, and Knowing

I learned from working on assignments and projects, that the absence of just a "const" in a C/C++ program could lead to devastating circumstances, so I began paying immense attention to detail.

Witnessing my code take 60 seconds to generate simple output also taught me to be conscious of at least, paths taken, and memory occupied in the running of code, and to always use the more efficient method, as there is always a better way to solve a problem. We just need to keep thinking and experimenting.

This also awakened me to the fact that not knowing, is much more time consuming.
