The master has failed more than the beginner has even tried
If you look at my previous blogs or comments, you will notice that I have a bad(wrong) attitude with pupils and newbies, but I really want to appreciate people, who fight a lot and they never give up, regardless of their rating change. It's true, this is competitive programming, but your main goal shouldn't be being better than someone, you must compete against yourself and don't look at other contestants as your rivals... There are plenty of programmers, who give up when they don't see progress in their rating, but here, in this blog, I want to mention some very determined users. you can also leave in comments somebody, who loves programming as a hobby and not as a sport:
ruban, PAG, eugalt, DatoTS, tantam75, farizazmip Ozymandias, chrome, Azat_Yusupov, Mediocrity, Olympia,
So, you may be stuck on a specific rating, but someday you will start flying. :)
