Hi Nguyen, very happy the article resonated with you. I love exchanging learning experiences with other people, you can contribute and pick up so much. And yep, nothing quite beats the feeling when you’ve been working on an article for hours/days then hit “publish” :).

Thank you Kalid for your sharing. It’s bad that I couldn’t found out your blog 6 years ago. I started writing just a few months ago and started looking for others blogs that encourages me to keep writing. And I found yours. This article describes almost exactly what I want to write and how I write. That is:
– I want to write about my experiences that I learned from my works, or from my researches, in a way as simple as possible, so that every one can understand and find that interesting. Like you say, you must be the best at it in order to describe a problem in an intuitive way, especially when your interest is in programming. The good thing is, as you write down the problem and your solution to solve it, it’s making you the expert at that problem.
– I want to share my thought about personal improvement to help me fight against bad habits like procrastination.

From the inside of me, I know that it’s very hard, sometimes frustrating, but it makes me better at better. And I always love that feeling when I finished an article.

In reply to Khuyen. Hi Khuyen, awesome, glad to hear you're starting a site. You'll never know where it might lead :).

I found your website while searching for a keyword on Bayes Theorem. As a gap year high school graduate before enrolling in college, I’ve always wanted to start a blog. I’ve been writing lots of daily journals and found out that I have to write in order to internalize what I’ve learnt from my experiences, books and people, and the act of writing definitely helps me synthesize new insights.

Thanks for the post and links :) I’m surely your type and want to be like that! (perhaps by getting in Princeton haha) I will definitely link to you when I start my blog (which should be soon)
