The Magic of Motivation

"I've got a friend. He's an astonishingly talented front-end coder. His design chops are out of this world. With that said, he's not done all that much web development though.
He's never configured a server. He's never built a web app from start to finish. He's never touched a database.
He decided to teach himself the MEAN stack for the fun and joy of learning. That's Mongo, Express, Angular and Node.
He started work around 7pm last night, and kept on working and writing code and reading tutorials. And he never stopped. And he wrote comments, and made notes and took screenshots and he made sure that he understood what he was doing each step of the way.
He didn't even get tired. He just kept on going for the love of what he was doing. He worked through the night, and he just finished his first ever web application.
It just shows that you can accomplish anything you want. All you need is motivation, discipline and a love of the task at hand.
Write some code."
