I have been thinking that maybe I was wrong on what I thought I did to become a Programmer.

Probably, It wasn't the right answers I found on google, or the help I got from friends that made me to learn.

Perhaps it is the wrong solutions, wrong implementations, bad design choices that made me learn. The main focus is making it right, but there are thousand ways of making it wrong.

What I'm trying to say is, maybe this story about Thomas Edison( I picked it up from the internet a while ago so I don't have the link for it, I'm not so sure if he even actually said this ).

"I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb."

So, fail fast, fail often until you realize your next implementation won't be subject to your previous failures then you will learn( and probably be enlightened)
