Hello everyone,
I've been on here for a few days, but I've been spending most of my time scanning through the vast wealth of information put up here, a little intimidated, I must admit, trying to figure out what on Earth I could possibly say to contribute. I'm astounded by how much wisdom around here and frankly, the more I read, the less I feel I know.
I spent, most of my time over the past few months in what can only describe as a hole -- a dark pit of oppression and helplessness. Wherever I looked I was reminded of guys my who at my age or younger, are /were cracking six figure deals and selling companies.
It's tough not to feel that I'm wasting my life and any effort put into anything is futile. How can anything I do possibly do to match that? But something which I've been slowly trying to force myself into realizing (crazy how hard it is to control my own mind), is that they're not important, they're not comparing themselves to me, so why should I compare myself to them?
What Can I Do?
Though I won't be hacking the Pentagon on a dare anytime soon, I'm learning python and I'm reasonably competent in it, and I'm fluent in HTML and just need to brush up a little in CSS.
What are my plans
Well, right now, just to start off, I'd really just like to make a $100, completely on my own accord, with no help from parents or friends, just to see if it's possible, and avoid intimidating myself away from doing anything. It may not be the grandest of goals, but hey, gotta start somewhere
P.S. The picture is irrelevant to the story, but relevant to my age.
