A Far More Important Question than "Can I Do It?"

[ABAP Spirit]

Do you enjoy listening or reading? My own voice recording below or just scroll down to the text.

It was an exciting ride last week, and I hope you liked it.

But don’t feel bad if you were not able to finish the challenge, especially when this was the first time you were coding.

Remember these stories:

  • Jim Carrey (the famous comedy actor) was booed off the stage during his first stand-up comedy performance
  • J. K. Rowling was rejected to publish the Harry Potter book in 12 major publishing houses
  • Thomas Edison failed over 10,000 times when attempting to invent a commercially-viable electric lightbulb.
  • Beyonce (over 118 million records sold as a solo artist) didn’t succeed at the talent show - Star Search.   

In the end,
When you want something all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” - Paulo Coelho, author of the book - The Alchemist.  
  
Never mind, if your code doesn’t work, you might’ve missed something small.

Look what Nicholas (one of our students) wrote to us:

I have found ABAP very interesting and always looking forward to the lectures. I know with dedication and persistence I will attain competence.

Twice, I have been stuck, but you wouldn't believe it was just punctuation marks (a comma in one and a space in the other) that gave me the errors! I am more careful with the little details now.

And, Do you know what I (personally) was struggling with?
I have problems putting down logic from my head on the paper (or ABAP editor :)).  

So check how you should solve it.
(This is something super new in ABAP Academy. Before we share something like this only with our insiders)

Take it as a chance to find out whether you can enjoy coding.

That's a far more important question than “Can I do it?”

Whenever we’re starting with somebody in ABAP Academy, he/she needs to go through ABAP Starterkit with a 1on1 code review session at the end.

(it’s not just a course, it’s a training)

So, I have one promotion for you:

(I keep my word that I won’t flood you with unwanted emails. I’ll send it to you only if you show your interest).

Techincally, it's not possible to do it here on the website. So, go to your inbox and find this email - The Wov Solution
