Everybody has their ups and downs. Obviously, there are times when things don't work out and the same person can feel and act differently.

Here's the first situation. I started writing posts on Journaly, but It was hard and I gave it up because my failures annoyed me. And here's the second situation. I"m keen on building websites and need to study some programming languages. Yesterday I tried to learn requests in the MySQL databases and almost every attempt failed and I got mistakes in my program. But today I couldn't wait to get these requests done.

Both things are hobbies for me. I do them only when I want. So I'm not talking about useful things or things I need to do. Both languages and programming are interesting to me. I wonder why my reaction is so different for each one.

There are two suggestions, although I'm not sure I’m right. Maybe my brain perceived the MySQL requests as rather a short task and not so hard compared with writing in a foreign language. Maybe it simply has something to do with my mood at a certain time.

It would be good to know the motives and be able to change my behavior and feelings consciously. Have you had a situation like this? Can you suggest any other reasons?
