About This Quote

The first thing you want to do to become great is to discover your area of calling. This quote by Edsger Dijkstra, the noted Dutch computer scientist, is one of the most famous quotes in the world of programming. The idea is that it’s very easy to get excited about things like computers, but it’s much more difficult to get excited about something like teaching. The idea is that you can be great at teaching without even realizing it. You can be good at it and enjoy it, and then one day you wake up and realize that you are a great teacher.
