I am very very happy today. After 92 days of consistent grind, I became an expert. I wanted to share my analogy of code forces with Cricket which is my fav sport ( and whole India's fav as well )
Take Contests as balls. Something you will get Yorkers and sometimes you will get bouncers. Just try not to get out, take singles and doubles {Try to maintain your rating} And the day you get the full toss, mark it as your day and blast a six.
Exactly that happened to me, I am good at certain topics and I am average ( for my rating ) in others
I have previously solved a lot of 1800's binary search questions.
Last Div. 3 I managed to solve the E problem since it was of Binary search. This Div2. contest I solved the D problem since it was number-theory based. Again a topic I am confident in.
The key takeaway, no matter how much you suck right now, doesn't stop giving contests. Your rating will go down, no problem. All you need is 2 contests in your domain. Just wait for them and don't stop the grind.
I pray that all of you also get to feel the same happiness as I am feeling.
Thank You for reading
Bye
