“Everyone should learn to program a computer because it teaches you how to think.” -Steve Jobs

The first thing you are taught when you start programming is that you´ll not learn to code in a day or two. It is a life skill just like reading, riding a bike, or any hobbies that you may practice. And for every life skill that we learn, we also learn lessons that help us grow in a personal, intellectual, or maybe on an emotional level.

Well, I´m here to tell you that programming (no matter the programming language you prefer) is no different from these hobbies and the traits they may teach you. If we apply some programming 101 into our daily lives we may find some personal growth along the way, and the best part is that you don´t need a whole life into programming to apply them.

These are only a few principles that you can use either to solve any problem or to just take as a life philosophy and use it in your daily habits. I will also address Python´s Zen, which also translates very well as a solution or answer to any problem you may encounter.
