From Dream - to Action
Do You have a Great Dream? Are You doing something to achieve it? Maybe You think it is unreal to bring your dream to life? I think I know how to realize any kind of dreams, and I will tell You how...
Everybody has dreams: a lot of different little dreams, a few of big dreams and someone even may have one Great Dream of Life. All of those dreams have one common property - all of them are achievable! There is only one crucial thing without which it is impossible to make a dream come true – it is faith. You must BELIEVE that your dream is real to implement, You must believe that exactly YOU are that person, who can fulfill YOUR dream. I know that sometimes it is very difficult to believe, especially when your dream is big enough, but there are some hints, that can sustain desire while You are achieving that giant. I have understood it not a long time ago and I want to share my experience, because earlier You get it - more chances to achieve your dream.
I had always liked puzzles and bright colors, so it is not surprising that I noticed Rubik's Cube. However every time I tried to solve it - failure always occurred. I didn't believe that I would ever have solved Rubik's Cube, it seemed that I was just too dumb to do that. But at the university I met one guy, who was able to solve different puzzles similar to Rubik's Cubes, and he didn't look like a genius. If he could do that - why couldn`t I??? I asked him that question and his answer was very correct: "I think You have tried not enough times". So I went to a dorm, took the cube and was twisting it all the day. At some moment I asked Internet for hints, and after one more hour I had my Rubik's Cube solved. Now I can solve any classical Rubik's Cube of any size from 2x2 to 11x11. Once it was just my little dream - now it came true. But it was a very important step: when YOUR dreams, even so small, come true - You feel power, You begin to believe that other dreams should come true as well.
A similar story was when I wanted to gain muscles, go abroad, juggle, do archery, fly on plane, etc. I have achieved all those dreams. And every achievement helps me in the future, giving me extra power to achieve more and more. But You always must work for your dreams. They don't come by themselves! Once a dream appears, an action must appear as well! Without actions every dream dies. And little dreams dies faster than big dreams, because people forget them faster. Nonetheless, without small dreams it is more difficult to achieve bigger ones. That's my vision and it works for me! :)
A lot of my dreams had come true since that moment when I solved my first Rubik's Cube. And every time when I wanted to give up, when I felt that I can't do anything - I asked myself one question: "Once I thought that to solve Rubik's Cube is unreal, but I had solved it; once I thought that do juggle is unreal, but I can do it now; once I thought that to gain muscle mass more than 90 kg is unreal, but I had more than 100 kg. Maybe I am wrong again? Maybe I must try one more time to achieve my goal?" - and it helps. Every time.
One of my old dreams was to be able to create computer games. And this project, that I playfully call KovDimaY is a step to my dream. Now I can create almost all kinds of minigames, But I want more! And, hopefully, sometime I will be one of the developers of such giants as GTA, FIFA, NFS, etc. The main things that will help me - I believe and I work.
I remember that moment, when I heard about programming for the first time. After that I will never stop create, I will always keep searching.

The best husbands are programmers. At least in Ukraine...

I know nothing about programming, but it always fascinates me. Programmers are similar to magicians - they write a lot of different spells and then wonderful things appear!
