Guys,
if you all ever compete.. and lose.. how do you feel ? if that project matters to you a lot more than you can think of.. ? and it just trash all your hopes in the end... and you got stunt and numb.. and dont even feel your soul within you any more...
What would you do ?
Start anew...
if the impact is not what just "start anew" can do ... what more can you figure?
This is a difficult question because different people are affected differently.Quote:

One must get out of this frame of mind.
One does not necessarily feel so only when a project is doomed. One can also feel it when one loses a girlfriend (or boyfriend), or when someone trusted fails one, etc. So, one must remember that whilst terrible things happen, worse things could have potentially happened instead.
I would concentrate on keeping myself busy to keep negative thoughts out of my mind.
In doing so, I would eventually - "start anew".
yes.. i guess that is the way to do it... or else.. doomed....
thanks dude.. for the advise.. just busy focus on rebuilding the foundation once again .. and go go go ................
You are welcome... :)
BTW, this is a nice poem on similar lines...
...Which also means that one must not stop...Quote:

Going through the entire process, it has given you a chance to understand what works and what don't. Where's your weakness and others' strength. Taking these feedbacks positively, you could improve yourself to better position yourself in future competition.
From Khuen:
What would I do? Real simple. Quit programming altogether and dabble in non-IT related stuff. I'm going into a marketing course soon and maybe start a gift shop in future.Quote:

In fact, I'm proud to say that I'm the only guy here posting on CodeGuru when I'm not even doing any IT-related job. The thing that makes me come back here is the CG blood that flows in me. :thumb:
Good day,
Xeon.
How do you know that? I work at Arby's.Quote:

All people except me come to CodeGuru because they're doing some IT-related stuff, be it personal, for leisure/hobby or commercial/work.
U can't expect the man on the street selling chicken chop to register in CodeGuru outta the blue, right? :thumb:
Good try, kid.
Xeon. :cool:
pretty much much true about it..
in fact.. after 2 years of "The Total Untouch" in any Programming Projects and not even sniff at it ... i am feeling pretty much left out like a junk in the backyard..
One of Xeon's comment :-
I did and taken that decision 2 years ago.. and until now.. i have been lying to myself.. saying that i hate and program no more.. however, within is still a loving passion for it.. :-)Quote:
"Quit programming altogether and dabble in non-IT related stuff."
Well, to come back for a new start although is hard as i have forgotten almost all the commands except the programming concept but.. i guess i am ready and pretty agree with "Xeon" comment
It is what that is in my soul right now.. it might be funny to others.. but still i am kind of like wanting to reborn in this field and proceed with greater stamina and sharper than before.Quote:

What is there to lose to make a comeback with the "ROCK YOU" music tuned on LOUD? hahaha.. some might even started to laugh hard and rolling on the floor.. (even i cant stand it too :-D)...
Well, a very important thing must be remembered..
"when you dare to take it up.. you must be ready to put it down and let it go if by all means the result is not yours"...
NoHero, Kheun, Arjay, Xeon, Siddhartha... Thank you guys soo much for the +ve advises and experiences shared here.. i truly appreciate it.. At first i thought that my title is going to be too lame to appear in CG.. well... i guess i think too much ..
Hope that others who experiences the same situation read this up and get you Initial D Revving for another bigger WAVE.... ROCK YOU
Who needs sanity when u got CG? :thumb: :D
ha ha ha ...

If I ever visit you in future, I expect you to sign your signature on my butt, my t-shirt, my back, my palms, my tummy and my cheeks. :wave:
Good day,
