[翻译]无论什么时候开始学习都不会太迟

Quora question: 程序员了！他很高兴，并且很努力地提高自己的技术水平。半年后，他在一家更大的公司找到了工作。仅仅一年之后，另外一家大公司邀请他加入他们。现在他已经是一个非常优秀的程序员了。你能想象他原来是做市场专员的吗？

Yes, programming is not easy.A good programmer has to learn a lot, for example: mathematic, arithmetic, data structure, OS… and master several programming languages. But this is not the the full story. The aim of programming is solving problem. In many cases, the problems that you are facing don’t appear to be so difficult, which can be solved easily and don’t need so much knowledge and skill. So if you do not remain satisfied with this, you would continue to improve through the continuous learning and experience.

是的，编程不是一件容易的事情。一个优秀的程序员需要学习很多东西，比如数学、算法、数据结构，操作系统……还得掌握好几门编程语言。但这不是编程的全部，编程的目的是解决问题。大部分情况下，你所面对的问题其实都不会很困难，你不需要很多知识与技能就可以轻易把它解决。但是如果你不满足现状，你可以通过不断学习与积累经验去提高自己。

This is an age when people live far longer, we all have opportunity to keep learning something new for decades, and get what you want one day. I believe it’s never too late to start studing anything.

现在这个时代，只要我们还活着，我们都有机会去学习一些新的东西，并且得到你想得到的。我相信无论什么时候开始学习什么东西都不会太迟。
