[Inflearn Challenge] May Goal Crushing Challenge – You too can become a crushing king!

This May's Breaking King Challenge was a month that left me with quite a few regrets. Having participated in the challenge several times and consistently completing missions without missing any, I naturally thought I would do well this month too. However, looking back, there were moments where I fell short. Schedules overlapped, there were days when I failed to properly check the mission details because I was tired, and there were missions left incomplete because I couldn't follow through until the end, despite having the intention to do so. Therefore, rather than simply being disappointed because I was busy, this month felt like a time to reflect on the parts of myself that had become a bit complacent. In particular, my heart felt quite heavy on the days I missed a mission. After returning home late from a family trip and unpacking, I turned on a lecture with the mindset that I still needed to study, but I ended up falling asleep at my desk. While it was very disappointing at the time, it also made me realize once again how important this challenge has become as a routine in my life. In the past, it would have been just another day passing by, but the fact that missing a mission now feels regrettable and stays on my mind makes me realize that my habits have already changed significantly. While participating in this challenge, I also worked on creating a mobile application and developing a desktop app pet as sub-projects. The most meaningful part was that I didn't just stop at listening to lectures, but continued to attempt applying what I learned to actual projects and building them myself. Compared to myself last year, my attitude toward studying, my habit of recording, and my determination to immediately put what I've learned into practice seem to have become much stronger. Although there are still many areas where I am lacking, I felt proud that the process of consistently studying, creating, and reflecting is now naturally becoming a part of my daily life. Of course, this month was not perfect. There were missed missions, and parts that were unfortunately not completed because I didn't read the mission details properly. That's why I want to make sure I don't repeat the same mistakes next month. I plan to strengthen my habits by organizing my goals in the morning, carefully checking the mission details first, and ensuring I submit everything before the day ends. While May was a month of regrets, it was also a month that allowed me to reflect on myself. I plan to participate in next month's challenge as well, and next time, I will complete it more consistently and diligently without missing a beat. I will record this experience well and make it happen again. ❤️

Doing it together makes it fun and provides the motivation to finish, which leads to great learning results. --- At first, I started with the simple thought of "I should get some exercise." To be honest, even after buying a bike, I barely rode it using busyness as an excuse, and it spent more time neglected on the veranda. Then, I started riding my indoor bike again through the Inflearn (inflearn.com) May Breakthrough Challenge. I usually knew it only as a lecture platform, but I was really impressed by how it provided motivation to continue both learning and self-management in a challenge format. In particular, I liked that Inflearn is more than just a place to listen to lectures; it creates an environment where you can consistently practice and grow. If I were alone, I would have easily lost focus, but thanks to the challenge and the culture of verification, I was able to naturally maintain my routine. For the first few days, just getting on the saddle wasn't easy, and there were moments during intervals when I was so out of breath and sweaty that I wanted to give up. However, as I completed the challenge day by day, a routine slowly began to form. The small sense of accomplishment from saying "I did it again today" built up, and before I knew it, I had reached the third week. What I liked most was that it wasn't just about exercising; I felt like I was keeping a promise to myself. While there hasn't been significant weight loss or noticeable physical changes yet, my lifestyle patterns and mindset are definitely changing. Taking this challenge as an opportunity, I want to make exercise a daily routine rather than a one-time event. I would like to thank Inflearn and the Breakthrough Challenge for providing great motivation and an opportunity to practice consistently!

It was a shame that I missed so many days in the beginning!

"We respect everyone who strives to build a meaningful career." This is a sub-message found on the Inflearn introduction page. This challenge provided an opportunity to freely achieve personal growth goals, even if they weren't related to Inflearn courses. In that sense, I got the impression that Inflearn is truly putting its mission, "We pursue equality of opportunity for growth," into practice. Curious about other values Inflearn pursues, I looked further into the introduction page. As I read through the sentences, the section under the phrase "A collective pursuit of what is right" caught my eye, which mentioned striving to create an ecosystem that benefits everyone in the long run. I believe this challenge fully fulfilled that role. Thanks to it, I was able to develop a good habit of sitting in front of my monitor to study for at least 30 minutes every day. I will continue to support the healthy ecosystem that Inflearn dreams of. And I respect everyone who strives to build a meaningful career. Thank you.

To grow a little more than who I was yesterday!
