Hi, sorry for interrupting you from learning binary search. A year ago I saw some similar blogs and they somehow motivated me, so I am posting this, maybe it'll motivate you)
And one more reason — I want to thank everyone who helped me along the way: - My mother, and younger brother, they helped me a lot and believed in me - Um_nik with his posts(especially this one https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/98806) - ProHackers and Capitan, They taught me to love solving problems and I got a lot useful and free tips from them :) - And my friends, who believed in me(even more than I do) CodeN7, Vyacheslav_23
So... Yesterday I became a master. Yeah, I know that this wasn't my main goal and many guys have achieved master too, but in any case, I think this small achievement is enough to create such a post. I just want to say, believe in yourself, watch anime and enjoy solving problems! And I know for sure that is more than enough to achieve your goals!
congrats
thx you
Congrats man!
Also, loved your last contest rank:p)0

Hello bro , i watched your graph before i see this post and it motivated me a lot specially i wasted more than 2 years with nothing i started and only learned C++ basics and solved some problems then i didn't continue because i was disappointed , now i returned again and i have more 3 years i want to start now again and achieve at least master like you although i am disappointed cause of my wasted 2 years .
note: this is not my account that i started with i only wanted to write this comment with it.
I've played dota 2 for four or maybe more years. It was bad time, I did nothing, but playing. That's okay, we have what we have. I wish you more strength in your way :)
I think gaming is not a bad thing if you have the power to control yourself although not playing is so much better for yourself and even other people around you.
congrats! which animes you like to watch?
Thanks! I really enjoyed watching attack of the titans and hell's paradise. Now I'm watching the rebirth of the unemployed, it's strange, but really interesting)
No problem, bro. Congrats!!!
Thank you!!
did u find these people u mention on this site or did u knew them before ? anyway congrats.
I haven't seen Um_nik in real life and never talked to him. I participated in NEERC with Capitan and ProHackers last year, CodeN7 and Vyacheslav_23 my friends.
Roxy > Eris
I seem to like Eris's temperament more than Roxy's.
Small achievement? Really
Congrats and I like your "watch anime" advice! Also reaching master is not a small achievement.
Thank you :)
Also I was wandering what was you practice strategy and if you did smth different from when you were expert.
I've been doing the same things for the last half year. I chose some hard enough problems, 5 or 10 in average, and then solved them during 5-hour mashup. I've solved something like >= 400 1800-2400 problems or maybe more. Now I changed my strategy, I read a lot of problems before going to bed, and then instead of sleeping I'm solving problems. The next morning I'm coding problems that I solved yesterday. By doing this, I kinda separated thinking training and coding training.
nice
