I’m sitting in the library today. I got a lot of studying done. With my time learning Java, one would think I know more about Java than I do. They say knowledge is power. I say the more power I have, the more confusion I have. But I just started learning Java, so I need to give myself a break. When I start learning something new, I have this mix of excitement and dread. I am excited about learning something new and dread that I won’t understand it. There are limitations to what one can learn. I think. What if what I want to know is beyond my capabilities? Though, if my brain is under stress while learning, I won’t be able to retain the information.
How do I relax my brain to retain the information in front of me? I have been moving slowly in my learning to ensure I understand before moving forward. So far, it seems to be helping. Now I need to see this through to the end. I still ask myself… Can I do this? I want to do this. I’m pretty sure I can do this. Why am I so afraid of failing? What will happen if I fail? What is the worst that can happen? What happens if I don’t fail?
