Self hypnotize with a stupid idea along with proper rest

In everyday life we categorize people as smart and not so smart, the energetic and lazy, the expert and the newbie. However all I have learned so far is that success does not depend on any of these categorizations. Success is not genetics, success is an attitude that depends on how much passion you have to stay at heart and prioritize what you want to achieve in life.
So how can one stay focused? It depends on what you want to achieve. I sleep every other day, reason? I want to stay competitive in life and less sleep gives me a competitive advantage. However, there is a catch to this! This only works for repetitive daily routine works. Right now, I am learning a new computer language along with designing and coding like hell for a huge project. Without sleep I CAN'T even focus and collect my thoughts for new ideas for 30 minutes, I get lost in blankness. However, after 10 hours of sleep I wake up jolly with fresh new ideas. So if you want to learn something new or think logically for hours, you have to get enough sleep! Coffee and smoke did not help.
Next you need to believe in yourself and stop categorizing. Things in life are suppose to be hard but simple when you get it. Just because something is hard does not mean that you are slow. I still remember the time when I spend hours and filled half of a 100 page log book to solve one 'mechanic' problem. Thinking back it was hell of a ride, but the conquest was worth it, as after that lock-break everything else became so easy! So if you ever categorize yourself into the social-cause you have lost the passion and heart in what you are doing! If so you are bound to fail!
So when things are hard never categorize yourself and your not slow. Some times some things in life are hard and if you still wants to break the lock, keep going. As far as learning and new ideas are concerned, success do follow when you self hypnotize yourself with this stupid idea along with proper rest.
