In some cases, the problem is not in your current skills or even in your habits, but in how you see things in life.

I loved this post, it definitely resonated with me! I know I need to continue to challenge myself (even though it's super frustrating at times)!

## Extra

I commonly see memes where some programming languages or features are the cause of laughter. And there is no problem here because _they are just memes_.

But some people act like the content of the meme was real and simply ignore a language or a tool, believing a joke. If you are a programmer, you certainly have ever seen memes about PHP or Java. In the comments of those posts, many people say that these languages are exactly what the memes say that they are, without giving them a try.

The third tip comes to complete the second one. Don't judge any book by its cover. Learn features that you commonly hear people joking about. Get out of your own world and let your mind breathe! 🧠
