It took me about one year to complete about 100 virtual rounds.

I learned a lot of techniques that I had seldom read in books or even never heard of before, like segment tree with lazy propagation, bit-mask dp and so on.

In the early stage, I could only solve about two div2 problems. As time goes on, I found that I could solve more and even all div2 problems, either on my own or by reading tutorials.

I also got familiar with a lot of IDs as I kept participating in more virtual contests. At first, I competed with them together in div2 but they improved quite fast and went to div1, and as it turns out, they are legends now. But I guessed that before legends become legends, they had similar experiences like us, too, facing challenges, keeping practicing, handling various problems, and making progress day by day.

This makes me believe more deeply, that hard working may not be sufficient to achieve one's target, but is at least surely necessary.

Best wishes to everyone's dream, and please never lose hope.

(Finally, I strongly recommend this book Competitive Programmer's Handbook — a new book on competitive programming, written by a great master, and hope that everyone can find something valuable there.)
