Screenshot of the following text: 'Aaron used to have a boss named Rock. Rock earned a degree in astrophysics from Cal Tech, but never had a job that used his knowledge of the heavens. When asked if he regretted getting the degree, he replied, "Actually, my degree in astrophysics has proved to be very valuable. Some things in this world are just hard. When I am struggling with something, I sometimes think 'Damn, this is hard for me. I wonder if I am stupid,' and then I remember that I have a degree in astrophysics from Cal Tech; I must not be stupid."'

Reminds me of something that has always stuck with me from the book I learned to program with - Aaron Hillegass's "Cocoa Programming for OS X" (I had to dig up the electronic version since my original paper version got tossed when it was updated).

Essentially --- Programming is hard, you are not stupid.
