lots of people ask me the question I wrote above as I am quite senior as in age and an alumni

I would say it all about consistency along with the focus that you shows by learning the concepts of the mistake done by doing/solving/working on a project or compitative question;

I usually pick the wrong path when I am not aware of the right one

same concept is applied here; when I am not confidant about a concept or when my theoritical concepts are not clear well it will be an obstacle in my process; it will only won't in future when I'll clear all the blurry doubts about a question and related concepts

• and at the end I would say I am also a beginner for current here
• and thanks for asking .. in the process of writing this answer I found what I am suppose to do

hope it helps
