Learning Binge

There are points in my life at which I become highly motivated and focused, more so than usual, this is one of those times.
 I have an interview in a little over a week, one that might prove to be a doorway into a much faster paced and  higher paying job.
Of course with any job change there is a certain amount of leaning that must be done, in addition to that this would be a change in skill sets and thus will require that much more study.
Most of my coding experience has been with Windows Forms Applications constructed in the .Net environment. Now I will be getting into the Web Based side of things. Working with HTML5, JSON, Jquery, Jscript, as well as expanding my knowledge of asp.net and C#.
Learning is cathartic, it helps to distract and structure thoughts as well as build confidence with every success!
The trick to learning is to find the path that your mind absorbs information best, which is different for everyone.
I learn by immersion. If I can surround myself with experiences and people who know far more than I do, then I will soon begin to mimic the traits and how the experienced handle a given situation.
Choose your teachers, don't just learn from anyone. Much like I will say if at all possible choose your boss, then choosing you comes second.
There are many changes that lie ahead for me in life, some will be good others I am sure will be hard, but the things that make people remembered for years is not how easy life was for them, but what they did to overcome the hardships and trials that were given to them. Boring people rarely make history.
So be adventurous! Do what makes you happy, even if that means you have to get a little bruised in the process of finding out what makes you happy, in the long run, it is a solid investment.
Goodnight.
