Currently, my ratings aren’t impressive at all, and to be honest, I still lack many basics. I’m slower than most of the people I interact with, I overcomplicate simple tasks, and sometimes I spend hours on tasks that others can handle in minutes. But I’m done trying to compare timelines.

There are those who only care about ratings, rankings, and accomplishments. They don’t consider how these accomplishments are achieved — by struggling submissions, by being frustrated, by remaining consistent, and coming back after poor results.

I do have a significant goal with coding and competitive programming. But now I realize that a goal itself is irrelevant without gaining something from the process. It lies in discipline, problem-solving skills, patience, and determination.

Let’s see where this path takes me.
