Dinaolmelak's blog

By Dinaolmelak, history, 6 years ago, In English

This is the very first blog I have ever written. Hopefully it is not my last. My current goal right now is to be a software engineer. That is one of the main reasons I have decided to start doing competitive programming. I also want to improve my programming skills exponentially. However as humans we are constantly faced with different challenges in life. Regardless I want to prove to myself that I can with stand and endure through all the tough times. I was born and raised in a christian family. Growing up I used to always go to church. Recently in my life, after getting rejected and encountering failures, I decided to examine myself.

One of the major basic foundational error I encountered was that I was not disciplined towards my goals. In a way I had been a slave to surrounding distractions. Recently it got to the point where I was very tired of getting distracted. Hence I made a rule for myself. At the moment there was a bracelet near me which said, "Student Scholar". I then picked it up and promised myself one thing. The promise was that I am going to abandon distractions and focus on my goal. The one thing that I love about life is that even though there are talented people out there who out class you. As long as you work hard then your skill will out shine your competitor's talent. Therefore I had decided to keep working hard for myself.

ah so you're a christian. I love christianity, there's so much wisdom in the bible. Let me mention one of my favourite messages from God.

Exodus 21:20-21

"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property."

definitely sounds like something that an all powerful, all knowing, all good creator would say.

    Ah, an opportunity!

    Surely you also know Gal 3:23 — "Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.", and Gal 2:16 — nobody is justified through following the law, and explicitly answering you in Mk 10:5 — "this law was written because of hardness of your hearts".
