Well, I failed for more than 4 yrs.. and only since the last year, I started to see a results of what I was doing..

Of course I am responsible on this failure, but when you live in a poor country like Egypt, lack opportunity and education, and everyone is trying to stop you and call you a loser and never believe you.. then it makes me feel better that I am not fully responsible on this failure..

But when you make success, you just become so proud of yourself, and you look at those people who stopped you before and tell them: I was right about what I was doing, and here are the results!
