I'm such a fucking moron! I had a programing test at university today, there where two excercises and two hours time. Finished the first one within 20min, but couldn't crack the second one. As time went by, I got more and more nervous. My hands started shaking. I couldn't think straight. I should just have steped outside, ask for a bathroom break, whatever. But no, I wanted to solve it!
Went home after the timelimit. Sat down, wrote the same thing I had in my head, compile, test and would have gotten all the points. I was able to do in 20min when relaxed, what I wasn't able in 1h 40min.
Fuck me.

    At least you kept on trying to solve it.

    IMO that's way more important than having a good result in that test.

    But of course it sucks..

    @just8littleByte wisdom is also knowing when to pause for a moment to collect your thoughts. It happens so often to me that I can't figure something out, and the moment I get up and walk around a little bit I see the picture and can solve it in a matter of minutes.
    Untill the next problem occurs ofcourse :)

    This happens to my in real job. If you are struggling to solve something it is best to walk away and come back later. Like after lunch.
