New Year Resolution — Climbing the Codeforces Color Ladder
By Pancake, history, 9 years ago, In English

Dear fellow coders,

As we're approaching the end of 2015 (actually some parts of our beautiful blue planet have already entered 2016!), I'd like to take the opportunity to wish everyone of this great community a successful, healthy and happy 2016!

As one of my (many!) resolutions for the new year, I decided to rejoin Codeforces contests after not participating in any of them for more than 2 years.

I, Pancake, the first of my name, am going to try my best to become red at some point in 2016.

I invite everyone to set themselves a smiliar achievable feat. Please leave a comment with the color you intend to reach in 2016. And always keep in mind, that the open disclosure of resolutions is the best way to force yourself to adhere to them.

I hope we can get as many coders as possible who will accept the challenge and attempt to raise their potential in competitive programming contests in the coming year.

All the best,

a Pancake.

Orange by the end of 2016.I will find the way to make it happen, I will thoroughly research and devise a plan for this goal to become a reality, I will learn what is needed and do it fast enough to get things done on time.

If I've learned anything from red coders here, its this

Love what you do, do what you love!

Love is the answer, color isn't.

Maybe I'll remain cyan, maybe I'll be blue, maybe I'll be in div 1, I can't say. But I will continue doing what I love to do, despite my color.

I secretly wish to be reliably a div1 contender by the end of 2016

People often overestimate what can be done in a day, and underestimate what can be done in a year

I would love to become Div.1, However becoming blue would be great and more logical to me :)

Orange now is what red used to be before the color revolution, so I intend to become orange in the near future. Red is a little out of reach, so I'll leave that to a farther future.

    Actually becoming yellow now is more difficult than red before color revolution
