Getting Real With Reading Book Sample: Fill & Download for Free

It is almost unbearably sad for me to see this question being seriously asked.Books have been the primary repository of human knowledge since writing was invented. Because of books, each generation can stand on the knowledge that has been previously accumulated. We don't have to reinvent the wheel, because the way to design a wheel has been recorded in books. We don't have to rediscover the principles of geometry, or calculus, or biochemistry, or nuclear physics, or agriculture, or the best way to barbecue ribs, because this information is stored and accessible through books.We can learn the history of our world through books and learn from the lives of Abraham Lincoln, or Julius Caesar, or Eleanor Roosevelt, or Nelson Mandela. We can learn of the building of the Panama Canal; the construction of the transcontinental railroads; the discovery of DNA; the invention of the silicon chip; and so much more.Moreover, books have been a primary means of expressing creativity and imagination. We can wander in Oz with Dorothy; tilt at windmills with Don Quixote; enjoy London with Pickwick; learn if the Galactic Empire will fall and rise again in accordance with Hari Seldon's predictions; solve mysteries with Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown, Hercule Poirot, or Kinsey Millhone; explore Barsoom with John Carter; journey to Mount Doom in Mordor with Frodo and Sam; experience the passion of Romeo for Juliet, or Cleopatra for Antony.And we can be inspired by the essays of Emerson, the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, the poetry of Walt Whitman, the meditations of Marcus Aurelius, the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, the fables of Aesop.And this is such a small, small sampling of the benefits of the world of books. Step into it; you will never regret it.

Thanks for the A2A.The solution is easier than you think.You don't start writing logically just by dreaming about it or reading books on how to write.Instead of reading, start writing.See the samples of professional work, re-write these samples, and little by little start using the same expressions in your own writing.This approach helps you get real improvements.Dreaming does not.Start today.

It's normal to be scared of any career change at any age, so yes, doing it at 30 certainly qualifies.Have you programmed much? One thing I've found to be fairly constant in software is the need to learn new things: new techniques, new technologies, new platforms, and how to solve problems unfamiliar to you. It's a kind of fear you have to embrace. It gets easier over time. So easy, in fact, that many programmers assume they can learn to do anything, regardless of how much they go in knowing. "Sure I can rock climb, just give me a day to read up on it."Object oriented programming (OOP) takes some work to grok, but then it's just another thing.Some suggestions:The internet is a beautiful thing, so much free information. When tackling a new problem, ask the internet and see how it's been solved before. Understand the solutions, then write your own code to solve the problem.Don't get too hung up on reading books about how to program. I tried to learn MFC (don't ask) by reading books, and was stymied for three months without any real progress. It took working from a sample to start making progress, and the book learning was useless.Don't be afraid to throw away code. If you feel deadlocked, tell yourself "screw it, I'm going to throw away what I write, but I'm going to write SOMETHING." Most of the time it turns out you can keep the code. Even if you can't, breaking your coder's block, and the subsequent learnings are invaluable.Fear is natural. If it helps, say to yourself "I'm not afraid, I'm excited!" Sometimes this actually works :)Just don't let it stop you. Act.
