Max’s love for technology dated back to the time he was a young boy. In his younger years, he preferred to waste time in fixing different gadgets than joining his peers in their company. Unlike other boys, who discussed sports and parties with their friends. Unfortunately, Max never got the formal education to make his interest a profession, he never got the tools to translate passion into cash.
He was stuck in a cubicle, living a hell of 8 to 5 where he was just typing away on a keyboard doing nothing creative and which hardly satisfied him. His dream? As the goal to create a mobile application that would be useful for small businesses to manage their operations. But there was one big problem– Max didn't have a computer of his own aside the office desktop he uses and did not know how coding was done.

At one point, one of the colleagues named Sarah asked him directly: “Max, why don’t you just take a few coding classes?” “It is possible to find a plethora of free courses on the Web.”
"I haven't thought about that before, thanks Sarah" Max replied
That was all it took. In the coming hours, Max went head deep into the world of coding. He spent his evenings after work and before coming to work watching YouTube videos, tutorials and also reading some related coding books. But it wasn’t easy because He'll have to wait till he gets to work before he practices what he watched. He did all sorts of things wrong initially: he got error messages every time he tried to run a program; he spent sleepless nights just thinking on where he made mistakes; and there were several times that he wished to quit.
But Max wasn’t the type to give up, He continued on, no matter how slowly he got and no matter how far he got he kept on going. He typed queries into the online community, tested his code to failure, and modified his solution until he found it.

As the months passed, Max started to get the hang of things. His app began to take shape, a simple tool for small business people so that they could monitor on the app their stocks and But just as he was getting close to launching, something happened that could bring him down.
He was still using the office desktop computer for his coding and a server crash wiped out a significant portion of his code. Everything that was done appeared to have been done for nothing. Max was down and frustrated sitting in front of the computer. The thought of starting over felt impossible.
But then he started thinking about what made him start building this in the first place and that was for the purpose of creating something that could benefit others. He was in too deep to back out now and He wasn’t about to let a setback stop him.
So, He got his personal laptop after saving and he kept pushing, rebuilt the app from the start and corrected the previous mistakes while improving the code.

Finally, after countless sleepless nights, Max’s app was ready for launch. Downloads started coming in, one or two at first, then gradually there were more and more. Business people started to use it and Max received number of Thank You messages in his inbox.
His journey hadn’t been easy. At some times, achieving this goal seemed like a pipe dream. But, it was to this background that Max had revolted against the impossible odds to remain committed. But when he looked at the app which he created from scratch, he recalled that tenacity had been the key to turning his dream into a reality.
