Rejections, poor performances and similar stuff do fuel me to perform better, work harder and improve.
Ultimately it is practice but you need a motivation to work hard, find it. Also believe no one who tells you there is a substitute for hard work.

      Poor performances include other coding competitions too like codeJam etc. Not qualifying a given round even when I was confident I should be able to counts as bad performance. And Ofcourse poor performance is a relative term. For Someone who is red not getting top 10 or 20 in kick start is a poor performance. For someone with my rating, top 150 or top 100 might be considered a good performance.

I was rejected by tmw when I asked him on a date. Since that day, my motivation to improve my rating has been to reduce the infinitely large rating gap between us, hoping that one day I can date my true love

Happened when I hit borderline specialist (1417) for the first time ,

Kept myself in the illusion that I'm a cyan now no need to give contests , but deep down I knew that i would fall down to pupil if I give another contest...

I heard a song one night , and it instantly reminded me of the girl in my username ...

From that moment onwards , I didn't care much and I didn't think about much

Just Code and listen to THE LAST STORY , TOBERU MONO REMIX

The turning point of my coding life was when I started practicing hard. After that, I was improving significantly.

    Can you leave a hint of how hard you practiced for how long?

    You mean practicing harder problems OR practicing for longer durations?

    edit: as a cow crushing on tmw (it's a 1 directional relationship) I can attest to the fact that tmw said that

    "for 10th grade and 11th grade i was so into practicing it was like sleep 4-7pm and (2/3/4)-7am now there's more of 4-7pm and 1-7am"

    using this statement, we can deduce that from 2017-2019, tmw rating rose from expert to IGM :O
