Advice from your fellow brother!

Learning any new thing requires a lot of patience. Learning should be a marathon, not a sprint.

The only thing you have to keep in mind while following these courses is that you have to keep going on no matter what happens you in between, maybe you will lose focus or interest but remember at last there is a happy life waiting for you when you will be able to implement or do what you love.
