What takes to be an IT Professional?

In today's world there is no doubt that almost all people are depending on a certain machine to do their job and with the big help of a group of IT people... Students can instantly search information that they need for their homework by browsing the World Wide Web. We can also buy and sell products through or via Internet. We can make friends using the Internet social network service and many more other things which make it convenient for us. But behind all these, to be an IT professional is difficult to achieve. We must put in our mind some important details on what takes to be an IT professional. For me, it takes a lot of courage, patience and confidence to be a professional IT. Courage to face whatever hardship you may went through. It's either you may failed or otherwise. But be sure to have guts to try again after you have failed. Patience because, it is not easy to do programs. It is not all the time that luck is in your side but you must endure it if you really want it. Lastly, have this confidence not only in what you are doing but also in yourself.
