I have always wanted to become an expert in a tech skill
One thing I have always wanted to do for as long as I can remember is to learn a digital/tech skill and to become an expert. I actually love the idea of being able to create my own website and even design an app and i have always imagined myself as someone who could turn his ideas into something functional and impactful—something people could use daily.
The world is constantly evolving, and the opportunities in tech are actually voluminous. Nowadays in everywhere you look, there’s always the talk of how much money people are making through programming, app development, or web design. It’s not just about the money for me, though but also about the satisfaction of creating something that solves real problems or inspires people in some way. That’s one of the reasons I want to learn a digital skill—not just for myself but to bring my vision to life.
To be honest, I’ve already tried learning programming before. Infact, I was excited when I started, full of energy and determination. I even went through some beginner tutorials and wrote a few code. At first, it was exciting to see how the pieces came together to make something work. But along the way, I gave up. Programming isn’t easy, and as much as I wanted to keep going, I found myself struggling to understand some concepts. The more frustrated I got, the less passionate I became and eventually, I stopped.
Looking back, I think the problem wasn’t just the difficulty of programming—it was also my mindset. I expected quick results and got discouraged when I didn’t see them. During those times, I had this clear vision of what I wanted to create. I dreamed of building a platform where people could discover different ways to make money. The app and website would be a hub for opportunities, where anyone could come to teach, learn, grow, and even find a little motivation to keep going.
That vision is still alive in me. I know it won’t be easy, but I also know it’s not impossible. The dream may have been delayed, but it hasn’t died. I just need to find the motivation to start again—from somewhere, anywhere. Maybe I need to start small this time, by learning the basics without pressuring myself to become an expert overnight. Or maybe I just need to remind myself why I wanted to do this in the first place: to create something meaningful and just make much money for myself and my family.
The truth is, learning a digital skill can be intimidating, especially when you see others excelling at it and you feel like you’re miles behind. But I’ve come to understand that everyone starts from somewhere. The people we admire in tech didn’t wake up one day and suddenly know everything—they worked for it and took their time to learn it for many years. And if they could do it, then why not me?
I still believe in this dream. I still believe it is worth pursuing, even if I failed the first time. Maybe all I need is a bit of patience and consistency, and i would get there. For now, I’m just taking it one day at a time, hoping that soon, I’ll find the courage to pick up where I left off and make that vision a reality.

Pressure doesn't seem to give one clarity when someone is trying to learn a new thing
Learning a new skill can be intimidating. It can be evenmoreso with a technical skill. You got started once and although you took a break you still have your vision. You analysed what happened - so most likely you will have a different mindset and approach next time. All the best wishes.
