Hii everyone tells you about how,they succeeded on codeforces,let me tell the mistakes that i made on codeforces that always kept me below green. 1.Not giving regular contests: I avoided giving contests, i was scared of my rating going down,how foolish i was.

2.Not upsolving: Even i gave some contests, i didn't upsolved the questions. I used to watch the solutions of some questions but didn't followed anything religiously.

3.Avoid asking questions from my Peers: Coming from a good college, i had a bunch of amazing coders friends.But again i never tool their help, the biggest mistake.Even some of them used to make fun of my coding and sometimes you can see in others eyes, they assess you less or not of their level. So i always avoided them. You should look for those people who don't consider you low and atleast solve your doubts, even if they don't our only aim should be to learn the concept doesn't matter taught it.

4.Honesty: Not being honest with myself.I craved to get answers for the problems.

5.Craving for rating to SHOW OFF: I always gave contest, not to learn anything out of it, but to increase my rating.Ultimately it took away all of my enthusiasm.

6.Make Progress Fast: I always looked for progress early, that doesn't happen.It takes time to develop a skill.And ultimately i gave up on not seeing results.

At the end nothing matters, no rating nothing.Only matters is the problem solving skill and i feel so bad that i wasted my precious college time, not improving this.I could have became good with problem solving that would have helped me in my OAs. But there is no sense in lamenting. I hope you don't make the mistakes i made and become a good and an honest coder. Thank you:/

Consistency cost me a lot.
