So many fields that is relevant to my job or my occupation. And today I’d like to mention about the computer programming. Those are quite essential for my job as uh. I am a PLC programmer. So it is somehow relevant to that. And uh. When uh. I was uh. Having such kind of difficulties to perform any programming or to execute any uh, programming related works then I was very worried about myself. And uh. After someime uh. So much of research I have done on online platforms, then I find out uh. YouTube channel that is known as Tech Channel, uh, take guide. And the channel was quite unique and they have provided a lot of information regarding basic of programming. From that day I have started and to. Was around uh.

One of the most important things I learned outside of formal education was computer programming. This skill has been crucial for my career as a PLC programmer, a field that relies heavily on coding. I initially struggled with programming and felt quite anxious about my limitations. However, I decided to take matters into my own hands and began researching online. I stumbled upon a YouTube channel called 'Tech Channel' that offered a comprehensive guide to programming fundamentals. This channel was a game-changer for me. I started learning from it about four years ago and within a month, I was able to write basic programs. Through consistent practice and dedication, I eventually became a certified programmer. This certification has significantly enhanced my career prospects, opening doors to better job opportunities. I believe that learning programming, or any skill that's not traditionally taught in schools, is essential for everyone. The rapid pace of technological advancements means that there are countless skills that may not be covered in traditional education. Fortunately, we have access to a wealth of information online, through platforms like YouTube. However, it's important to be discerning about the information we consume. We need to carefully evaluate the source and ensure that it's reliable and relevant to our needs. Ultimately, the key is to be proactive in our learning and embrace the opportunities that technology provides to expand our knowledge and skills.
