I always have a strong interest in knowing great peoples of my field like software development and programming. Knowing about them, following them, and reading about them not only gives you immense knowledge but also the motivation ,you need to excel in whatever you are doing. It's the motivation, not knowledge that will propel your career. Knowledge is almost useless without motivation because just knowing is not enough, you need to apply that knowledge, and without motivation, you just can't do that. There are times when programmers also feeling tired and bored. These are the times when you spent hours constantly looking at the computer screen, clicking here and there, surfing the net without doing anything.
