REFLECTIONS

I dropped this post on my Facebook account few days ago, I'll love to share it with my blog readers. Its still about my mentor. It's not meant to imply that this blog is all about my mentor, but what will I do to surprise my someone who played a v.important role in my life(mentor) ? Just like MT N's current Christmas question, my answer to it is TELL HIS STORY TO THE WORLD. That's just what I'm doing. Also, the idea of telling his story to the world is not from  MTN, it's my IDEA! I was overwhelmed to discover that promo. I'll probably vote him in.

HERE WE GO:

Reading through our previous chat motivates me, although he rarely replies my WHATSAPP chat, but as busy and tight as his schedule may be, he makes out time to say "Hi Daniek", and then spells it right, Hi Daniel(typographical error tho)lol. Presenting my line of codes full of bugs (i should rather say, "presenting bugs to him>> because nothing seemed to work right") and unfinished work scares the spongy stuff in my chest and it accelerates faster. On observing the anxiety on my face, he gently says, let's see what Daniel has here.

while (daniel expects heartwarming comments){
       he checks out the code;
       comments;
       daniel gets dissapointed in himself and is challenged to make it look better next time;
}

He will emphatically say>> "This is logic error" (I never knew what that meant, i just read about it recently). Thank God!!!! It was not Syntax Error.(because i knew what syntax error is). Even if he did explain, i never understood what logic eror meant, and the day i did, i recalled what he said in one of our meetings *I QUOTE*

 "99% OF WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN PROGRAMMING IS NOT FROM WHAT I TELL YOU, IT'S WHAT YOU LEARN AND DISCOVER ON YOUR OWN".
                                                                                                     

 If you intend to program it should be something you need to know, and do not forget if you are reading this, I should be you mentor because you saw it here:::on my blog.|just kidding|. As warped as it may seem, meeting someone like him is more that inspiring, LIKE I SAID, 10 lines of his story swept me off my feet.
