Secret to success

Our director shared this videolink at one of our BMT sessions. One of the secrets to success is passion. Without passion, everything you do is just a chore, and this applies to ones studies too. At first the ICT applications course seemed like one big mountain to climb. But as I read more, apply more, I want to know more. I saw Gilbert's project on QR codes, and I'm royally impressed. I feel like I would also like to try a QR code application. (but first I need a smartphone). Two months ago, I would have said that I'll never understand anything IT related and now I'm taking small steps. I know i'm slow on the uptake, but as the Afrikaans saying goes; agteros kom ook in die kraal. So after watching this video, with every new challenge I will apply some passion to it and see if it changes my attitude to the challenge, especially the difficult ones
