Perseverance - Perseverance!
When it comes to a problem, that I know there is a solution too, I'm like a dog with a bone....just can't let it go until I've taken every bit of meat off, and everything else goes out the window. I have just spent the last 2 days trying to do something that most people would have done in 10-15 minuets, (did eventually win in the end).
I've had two little voices in my head, one saying 'your as thick as 2 short planks' and you should give it up, stop trying to punch above your weight, and another voice saying you can do this, other people do it, why not you? As I said, dog with a bone, is hopefully winning!
Technology is not my strong point and as for computer abbreviation's you may as well be speaking another language, the time it takes to work all this out before getting to the actual problem is what frustrates me the most, also the fact that my formal education as a child is greatly lacking due to family circumstances and the era which I was born (post war baby).
So I say to anyone who is struggling, keep going, persevere have faith in yourself,
“The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”

Your right about the ants except they work in their hundreds therefor getting it done a lot quicker lol
Hey Sandra! I can SOOOO much relate to your experience. I actually wrote a blogpost about that a few days agao.
And right now I am, again, in such a situation, where I just HAVE TO go on and find it out......
Learning technology is not easy for non tech people. I am doing it for 3 years now, first with Google and Hangout broadcasting, and now with websites. Huge challenge!!!!
I wish you to go on and on and get the support you need!

Hi Heidi,
Thank you for that, makes me feel a little better, as I've only just started out on this sort of thing, apart from the normal run of the mill computer stuff, that's as far as I have ventured, it's all totally new to me. I think i need to keep in mind I'm not the only one who is a tech virgin lol
Sandra
This would be a good start. Otherwise you get frustrated when you think you should be able to do everything at once.
It just took me 3+ hours to fix an issue with a website which had lost its pictures and video on the home page........
No you go ahead Miss! I'm sure others will find it interesting,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs some grammar input/lessons, try not to make the list too long lol
Okay, here goes....
"When it comes to a problem, that I know there is a solution too," - the comma is unnecessary and the 'too' should be 'to'.
"done in 10-15 minuets" - should be 'minutes'
"your as thick" - should be 'you're'
"computer abbreviation's" - no need for the apostrophe
"persevere have faith in yourself," - should either have a comma, or an 'and' between 'persevere' and 'have faith'. Sentence should also end with a full stop, (period,) rather than a comma.
Hope that's all okay with you :)

Thank you Blyhe for commenting on my post, it can be a bit over whelming and intimidating when you first start here if you don't have any experience, if you want anything enough you can over come the obstacles'
All the best to you on your journey, Sandra
