[I read this blog post where](https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/17885) he was also green, what made you continue doing it all these years, is it so rewarding? ↵
↵
You both became very highly rated, [user:Hiasat,2020-09-18] [user:Reyna,2020-09-18] and I'm writing this as a blog instead of commenting to that post, to ask all the other top coders, what they feel↵
↵
Is it worth the time and effort, should I just close my eyes and spend 1000s hours over the course of the next five years practicing ↵
↵
If I don't do it will I wonder all my life, was it possible for me to become red, ↵
I don't know if I will regret not spending the time or spending the time ↵
↵
When do you start enjoying the journey, is it when you look back at your old self? ↵
↵
The rating graph? Color? What makes you smile along the way? Addiction? ↵
↵
Is the satisfaction the same, when you solve something you don't know in div2C vs in div1↵

↵
Was it worth it?↵
↵
↵
What did you'll sacrifice, how did you feel when you reached your goal?↵
↵
What is the goal, color ?↵
↵

↵
UPD: I guess the conclusion is, after a while, If a contest is something I look forward to, it is worth doing :)↵
