Power comes in response to a need, not a desire. You have to create that need.

(Everyone wants to be good at competitive programming but, not everyone works hard for it).

Fear is not evil. It tells you what your weakness is. And once you know your weakness, you can become stronger as well as kinder.

(Try to deal with during contest pressure. Try to solve one more problem rating will grow eventually).

The world isn't perfect. But it's there for us, trying the best it can... That's what makes it so damn beautiful.

You should enjoy the little detours. To the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.

According to Darwin's theory, the ability of organisms to change with their environment is explained by "natural selection," which means that individuals with traits that best suit their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those advantageous traits to future generations, thus allowing species to adapt and evolve over time as the environment changes; essentially, "survival of the fittest.".

Pain is weakness leaving the body. Although the journey to reach the next level hurts, doing one more problem is impossible, completing that problem eliminates any frailty in the mind. Pain is progress.

In the end, not even a single issue was resolved. We're probably going to live the rest of our lives mumbling, "I've had enough, no more". Although... Yeah, that's it. I don't know how long this will last, but I'll do it for as long as I can.

There are ups and downs. Unavoidable. When you are in the dark, do not quit. Push forward. Get out to the light. Keep pushing yourself.

Most people are complicit towards living in self-imposed prisons built from excuses and comfort--and the truth is, not everyone deserves happiness or success. The world isn't unfair--you are. You either have the guts to tear down your illusions and do what's necessary, or you don't. Society's obsession with "self-love" and "balance" is a farce that glorifies mediocrity. Balance is for people afraid to burn for something. If you're not willing to suffer, sacrifice, or break yourself in pursuit of something great, maybe you don't deserve it.

    "Do not spend all your time on training or studying — this way you will probably become very exhausted and unwilling to compete more. Whatever you do — have fun. Once you find programming is no fun anymore — drop it. Play soccer, find a girlfriend, study something not related to programming, just live a life — programming challenges are only programming challenges, and nothing more. Don't let them become your life — for your life is much more interesting and colorful." — Petr
