    you are right but everything I have learnt in programming was very interesting and In this short period of time, I gained a lot of experience!!

"You must take (1-2) hours in thinking of a solution to your problem" 1 hour might be reasonable, but personally I think 2 hours isn't realistic. It's hard for you to focus on a single problem for 2 hours. Besides, no matter which competition you're taking, speed is a factor you must consider. You have to be able to think of the solution in at most about 1 hour. In Codeforces, it's about 20 minutes. At least that's what I think; I would like to hear your opinions. Maybe occasionally focusing on a problem for a long period of time is good for you, but "must" is a bit too enforcing (I should probably switch an adjective).

    I don't like to admit it but it seems ratism runs deep through me too. After reading your comment, my initial response was quite "blunt" and advise-like but then I went into your account and saw your contest performance. This caused me to try and understand your comment better and it seems I don't disagree with you as much. Anyway, my initial response was like this:

    Thinking for only 1 hour contradicts tip 3. If you haven't thought for 2 hours, can you really say that you solved a hard (for you) problem? Obligatory reference to self-deception.

      you can find the same information by just googling , I guess its just taking people's time and repeating the same thing again and again

      It is rude to assume gender. The person who wrote this blog is a she.
