Why I started competitive programming

Image
 I heard about competitive programming sometime in my first semester. At that time i was just beginning to learn c language . I just kind of looked into it .My only motivation for looking it up was  that everybody was talking about it , human nature maybe. After my first semester i had learnt nothing significant, although people comfortable with basic programming , began exploring different domains in the programming world. So i decided to begin my programming journey in my winter break.  Wait !!!

Who is dumb ?

It was mid 2020 and the time of elections had come , there were two contestants running for the same. Lets name them x and y.

If you feel that way its perfectly normal , the irony is we humans tend to understand very less about ourselves, are we even under control of our desires or we are just prisoner to our mind , it could be heavily debated so i will leave it for another time.

It is important because nobody wants to waste time learning something which may result in disappointment. If you decide to pursue the skill do remind yourselves of the vision each and everyday so you can keep your pace.  Some of you migh
