There are actually a lot of people that doubted me, some very close to me, and above all, myself. I have had positive reactions in the past, but you never know when people might be "over" your work. There is no feeling quite like seeing people light up when you reveal something that you have poured your life into, and that feeling is multiplied by the inverse of your confidence.

joy = timeSpent * positiveReaction * (1.0-selfConfidence) :)
