All the replies here have been very assuring and uplifting, these guys have been there before us and they know what its like to be there and what it did get from them to reach there, getting such assurances is of course needed to encourage me, you and everyone who get in similar sorts of feelings from time to another. I'd flow and go on but would be brief....

The Monastery is like a great place to be, everybody is graceful and supportive, but one issue remains to be addressed, just to add a dimension to this ongoing interaction, learning is a two way process, I have this comfortable place to be when it comes to learning Perl, and this place is welcoming, this is one side, the other side is the inner-flame that makes you wanna do something with so much dedication and devotion but if you've been working yourself out on learning Perl and I know a lot of interesting topics are there, some of these, however, I am not comfortable walking through yet and would have to get back to them more than a couple of times or skip them until later on,it becomes daunting knowing that an accumulation can lead to congestion or blockage on the way, sometimes managing this gets the best of me that for a week or so I would not want to do any studying, focusing rather on venting my brain smoky-thinking fumes out of my ears, and then maybe this week can extend longer until someone cracks under the pressures of life, survival, work-hunting, family and they can't be as dedicated with the same vigor and hence a halt in the entire learning process follows.

Learning is religiously important, what do you say and what have you dear monks done when it got the best of you and how did you got back standing yet again when the circumstances were unwelcoming?

Update: I realized there's a link between this node and this one so I thought I would make this update...

Excellence is an Endeavor of Persistence. Chance Favors a Prepared Mind.
