Around two months ago I bought flight tickets to attend my first ever hackathon, the same day of my application which literally closed the next day. Why didn't I applied earlier? though wasn't prepared enough. The hackathon started the next day.

Today I come back home as a winner of two prizes, met an amazing team and learned a lot about them. The best part; it inspired me to keep going with my personal goals.

I used to prepare myself very hard in order to reduce failure %. It took me a lot of years to realize it wasn't the right approach. Preparing too much is useless if there is never real problem exposure.

The best way to learn and prepare is by doing. School, courses & programs are ok, but they could falsely make you believe you are learning. There isn't a book, guide or pre-fabricated way to become an expert on a field.

Do. Just do it. Try building the product/project/goal you want. In struggling is were the human brain really learns. Google it, ask mentors & friends or just read online blogs about it but take action. If you could just take one thing from this post, make it the following: try building what you want no matter how hard it looks.
