The first solution you linked is linear in complexity with respect to input, whereas your solution is quadratic (O(N2)). This makes it do around 1010 operations in worst case and hence can't pass within time limit. As a thumb rule try analyzing your algorithm's Time Complexity before coding a solution. This is a good starting point to learn about analyzing complexity of your programs.
