Hello, this is the first time I write a blog. I want to share an inspiring story with you.
In the last Educational Codeforces Round 113 (Rated for Div. 2) was unforgettable to me. After pA got AC quickly, I move onto pB. And stuck in the greedy method, this made me feel kind of nervous. So I skipped pB and read pC. Soon, I got some thought on it. So I started to work on that one. However, things didn't go so well, I stuck in the problem and cannot come up with the correct implementation. I started to feel distraught, submitted five times still not changed anything. I'm really depressed, so I went to pD, and came up with the solution quickly. Although everything seemed being messed up by myself, I still wanted to give it a try. I kept telling me that i can do this, if I don't try, then the contest would really over. Ten minutes remaining, but I still not got it done, I started to feel frustrating, but at the same time, I passed the sample input. I submitted it right away. To my surprise, it got accepted immediately, and I cheered. There were still seven minutes, I went back to pB right away. Soon, a thought came up in my brain very quickly, I can't believe that the thought of mine can be so different to the ME two hours ago. pB passed the tests, however, two minutes remaining. But to me, three is not enough, I had already made pB, then why not give pC a try? I looked at my code and suddenly, I found the stupid mistake I made. I revised it in a rush. While I was typing, my hands were shivering, but my brain run much more quickly than I do usually. I submitted in the last ten seconds, and ...... it got accepted! I can't believe it! I ran out of my room and started to acclaim for the miracle. This is even more excited than video games. I feel like I am the superstar in the NBA and hit the buzzer in the last second. To me, the key I can made this is that I kept believing in myself, trying to protect the almost-broken confidence, no matter how harsh the situation was. Have faith in one's mind can really change a lot!
This is how I got AC for three problems in the precious eight minutes. Thanks for your reading!
