On the topic of good work

Good work requires a significant amount of dedicated time, even in areas where you have expertise.

I reflected on this as I am currently taking an intermediate Python course online with my friend Avinash. Since I am already familiar with the concepts, I often skip the lectures and dive straight into the exercises and quizzes. Each week, we are tasked with completing a mini-project. I usually allocate just enough time to finish the project and, more importantly, muster just enough motivation to meet the deadline.

During the Pong game project, I scored two points less in peer evaluation compared to others, even though I had given full credit to my peers. This made me question why I received a lower score. Upon reflection, I realized that I lacked the patience to fully polish the project to meet everyone's expectations, despite being fully capable of doing so.

This was quite a realization. It’s clear that I need to work on this and strive to improve.
