Let me demonstrate. What I was aiming to build today was this:
![]() |
| I know RIGHT!!! Just pure awesomeness...*oh why yes, YES it's my design...no pictures, no pictures please...oh stop!* |
...but, what I actually managed to build was this:
![]() |
| Wah-wah-waaah...*FAIL* |
But you know what? I feel just great. I feel rather inspired, this is a great life moment!
You're probably wondering why the hell I am saying this, "Has this guy finally lost his mind?!". No, I haven't and this is why...
One of these days when this huge minefield of ignorant entrepreneurial uncertainty wanes, and before me I see a lush garden of productivity and happy campers, I know that I will look back on these days as the most amazing times of my young career. In these times, yes we have uncertainty and anxiety, there is a lot we don't know. But we also have the most amount of freedom we ever will in this venture. Right now while failing, we're enjoying some of the best learning life has to offer...and who knows, possibly the best it ever will (hopefully not!).
And this my friends, makes it easy to keep going. This notion puts things into clear perspective. Today I got my ass kicked, but I also learnt that #someid {position: relative;} is the only way to keep your web element in order with other bits on your page while allowing you to place it #sameid {left: 20px;}...so you see, we fail - we learn. :-D
Therefore, today I am really happy.
Tomorrow...is a new day.
