Never over-estimate

Never under-estimate your strengths

The solution is Careful Planning!

Do you know; Software Engineering is based out of Life ? So are Operation Systems!

References

Believe in yourself; You are the only reference to your success!

Understand that Computer Science & Information Technology are the Sciences based out of Life & Living.
