A newbie’s main intention and will should be only to solve div 2 (A and B), div 3 (A, B, C) and div 4 (A, B, C, D) always, to rank up to Pupil. Sometimes we solve 3 div 2 As in a row but struggle with them in live / virtual contest, why does this happen? Stress and Anxiety is the answer Fear of losing rating points puts our Mind in an intense pressure, the pressure of the ticking clock, fear of Wrong Answer 5x on div 2 A problem, and most importantly,
Fear of staying in Newbie Forever! All this is false unless and until you give Contest just for fun and treat every contest as a learning opportunity! If you follow these methods, I’m sure that you’ll gain, at least some points! But you should never cheat! Because it destroys every thing you have and ensures that You have entered the brainless mode, in which you just come to pass your time! You just need to compare yourself, from your past-self! Each person has spent some amount of time in CP, and
Each person has it’s own pace, if you have slower pace, believe in yourself that if you’re are capable of even understanding the problem statements or v. close to coding the first problem, congratulate and award yourself, because you’re one of the Earth’s few people to do this!.
Treat yourself like a Bamboo tree, it doesn't appear the moment you start watering it, it comes after many years of consistent practice (watering the bamboo seed), soon or later the bamboo tree rises, that's it, be yourself and trust yourself and your instincts, you can do this!
Thank you Guys, I Love share information on Competitive Programming with you all, if you find this interesting then plz upvote!

Nē, take my hand You mean the world to me Wanna be close to you! Shinkuro suru mahō o kakete yo
This is my motivation
of course, you should set some targets for urself btw, u got me on that one :)
aim to solve all the problems, if u just solve A and B for a div2 then by my bitter experience ur perf will be likely abt 800. if u only aim for your 'baselines' above ^ you will get stuck somewhere around 800. always try until the end AND/OR until ur minecraft addict pulls over and u get too bored and start playing mc
Your bitter experience of pasting problems into chatgpt?
...
I'm sorry for making baseless accusations against you, I have reconsidered my actions. I do not think you use ChatGPT on problems anymore. This is because you use Claude instead.
Go back to leetcode
Like if you wanna rank up to pupil because for most of the newbies, including me, its hard to solve div 2 C :)!
lowk I'm not CM (yet) so i don't have any rights to be saying this but:
Just try to solve every problem you can, not just stop after you get 2AB, 3ABC or 4ABCD, its not that deep
In my experience if you read the editorial and can understand and implement it, it's within reach, even if the placement/rating is scary
Sadly, I did not realize how many people would copy my pfp. Now, I cannot do anything but hope I get to CM so I don't have to be associated with these people.
You say this as if they are some sort of "lesser" beings, what do you even mean by "these people" ?
I think -51 contrib says enough
Thanks, then.
Motivation doesn't work, only discipline makes the difference.
Discipline makes the difference, it acquires success but motivation fuels it!
"But you should never cheat!" my ass, you literally used AI to solve A on your last contest, suddenly changed the approach and immediately found the correct solution, even submitted it without checking whether it actually works
and if you think that isnt convincing enough to prove that you cheated, here are some of your obivous cheated submissions: https://codeforces.me/contest/2233/submission/377921061 https://codeforces.me/contest/2237/submission/379409705 (snake_case and long variable names, yes some people use snake_case but he didnt use them in his previous submissions) https://codeforces.me/contest/2240/submission/380326327, https://codeforces.me/contest/2240/submission/380327837 (solved 2 problems in 2 minutes) https://codeforces.me/contest/2238/submission/380470646, https://codeforces.me/contest/2238/submission/380473487 (solved 2 problems in 4 minutes, though this one is quite short, it still takes time to bruteforce to find the pattern)
there are more too, you literally cheated on almost every problem (could be every single one of them), seriously if you want to improve then you should start learning new stuffs, algorithms, .. (such as dp digit, bitmask, matrix mult, .. for dp, or euler tour, dijkstra, dsu, .. for graph,..) instead of yapping some random shit and fantastasizing that you didnt cheat
you probably used AI to write this blog, too, every sentence had perfect grammar except the last one
no bro, seriously, if i used ai till now (as u said), i'd by smth like expert, the reason i got 5x WA on a div 2 problem was that i couldn't figure out the correct mathematical logic and if you've some brain problem then in these solutions, it's obvious that the specified logic is correct: https://codeforces.me/contest/2238/submission/380473487 and the others.... Nowadays, people believe that every non-gramatical mistake blog is written by ai, if you can't do a thing, plz don't tell others that what they have to do!
you would have been banned ages ago if you tried to get to expert by using AI lmao, so don't try using that logic on me, you also ignored and didnt explain your suspicous submissions, too(although there's nothing to explain because it's way too obvious) also i said that you probably used AI to write this blog, probably, my point still stands, though, and also this will be my last reply because ion really want to waste more time on you lol
yeah, i too don't wanna argue with you, so plz stop annoying everyone if ur jealous of anyone 'round here!

Bro, I ain't a cheater!
"Ain't nothing ever happen" my ass,
look at rdor's comment.
even AI can't fix a massive skill issue
Bruh AI useless on contests.
Ага. Будь собой и доверяйся себе и своим инстинктам и у тебя все получиться...
Что нужно не сдаваться, решать контесты, и продолжать пытаться.
И именно из-за этих двух фраз я остаюсь новичком на этом проклятом сайте уже 2 чертовых года. Зачем мне постоянно решать эти проклятые задачи и контесты, чтобы за секунду пришел какой-нибудь казах который на этом сайте только что зарегистрировался и решил весь контест за секунду.
КАКОЕ ОБУЧЕНИЕ Я ДОЛЖЕН ПОЛУЧАТЬ ОТ ПОСТОЯННОГО СТРАДАНИЯ И ПЛЕВКА В ЛИЦО МОЕГО ТРУДА?! ЧЕМУ Я ДОЛЖЕН НАУЧИТЬСЯ? ТЕРПЕТЬ КАЖДЫЙ РАЗ ТО, ЧТО ОБ МЕНЯ ВЫТИРАЮТ НОГИ? ДА ИДИТЕ ВЫ К ЧЕРТУ!
My mashup may give motivation to you...
