wonderful article! I couldn't have said it better myself! I have changed my studies three times now and thinking about the forth time. To explain my situation a bit further, I am currently fighting depression, so finding myself is the hardest thing right now. Yet alone having to get intense work done for computer science. That's why I am thinking about switching to a similar study with less mathematical content, because I feel like I would be able to be much better at developing my OWN thing alongside it. Failure has become a known company for me now, but I still fear it, especially because as a child I always was pushed to get better and better grades. I really thank you for this article, it brings a light in such dark times for me. Best regards, Jan
Good luck to you ♦♦ You may be onto something there, as far as reducing the AMT. of intense math you have to do on a given day.
That's a shame (you being prodded so much as a kid) - I want to tell u of a book that may (possibly) be of help to you .. I know it helped me to 'get out of my own way' by getting 2 know myself better & not blame myself as much (dont' know if u have the Time for it, but make a note for possible future) -- it's called "Finding Yr Own NORTH STAR", & it'll guide you in your Life path.
Plus, I think IF u can take some time to do the exercises in it, you'll have #Notes on your tendencies, your Likes/Dislikes -- then You'd know for sure about making a change in your studies ! ☻☻
Also exercises help u avoid the 'same mistakes' , and feel better abt yourself overall.
Thank you for your kind words, I will definitely look into it! I wish you a wonderful day
