When I took the decision to follow my passion and to choose the career that fits me better, I’ve started a journey that is different, a journey which requires a lot of effort in order to stand from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Along the way, as I like to be involved in a community, to support and be supported, I’ve been thinking about launching a lot of initiatives. However, there was one constraint: each of these ideas that came to my mind required much time, which I couldn’t ensure at that time as I had a full plan with other priorities.
\nOne day, I told myself why not sharing the knowledge I gain while I’m learning? As I read a lot of articles, if I summarize the best links about learning something and the best way to learn it in one article, I would make it easier to others to find what they need without having to\u00a0spend much time searching on the internet.<\/p>\n

So, I read different suggestions about how to write a good article (A common habit before doing something, I look for tips and pieces of advice on how to do it in the best way) and chose to write about a subject that is classical in computer science but that I saw differently! I was fascinated when learning it because I was discovering not only how powerful is the human brain but also how this thing is making a huge impact in our lives!
\nThe selected subject was: Algorithms.<\/p>\n

Writing\u00a0the article was a difficult phase, I struggled to formulate what I want to say. It took me many days and still, I was not satisfied with\u00a0the quality of what I wrote. I didn’t publish it.
\nThen, I remembered a sentence that one of my friends told me about that situation: “Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good<\/strong>.” It was like an awake! So, I made the step and published it on my website! To my big surprise, the article was successful! I found even some of top data science influencers sharing it and encouraging me!<\/p>\n

The success of this small imperfect action pushed me to try something new. I had a desire to contribute to a bigger community in order to reach a bigger audience and so help more people!<\/p>\n

As every accomplishment starts with the decision to try<\/strong>, here is the result!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I submitted my article in Dzone, a CS community that I admire too much, And I got accepted! My article The benefits of learning algorithms<\/a> was there! I enjoyed how they put it in “Big Data Zone”!!<\/p>\n

Today, after one month from making it available through Dzone, I’m happy to know that more than\u00a09000 people viewed it and I hope that the content supported and motivated them! It’s just such a rewarding experience!<\/p>\n

See you in the next action step to achieve my purpose: “Making a positive impact with my passion to CS!”<\/p>\n

Stay tuned! I’m preparing a new contribution for the coming week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
