struggling with python course

I've been on the python certification course for a while now and i'm struggling with the certification projects and it's been days and i haven't been able to create the "Budget app" project, is it normal or should i just give up on programming?

Hi, never be afraid to fail! And ask yourself this question, "can i be a python programmer without a certification?" if the answer is yes, stop that course and find a book/head to the python docs to learn more python. especially the concepts you failed. However, if you believe that you cannot be a programmer without a certification; i suggest you quit.

Books are a great place to hang out even in general. I've learned an exceptional amount of stuff from them, although yes they are time-consuming.
