What's you excuse? - I don't have one - I only successfully finished about 3 courses, while I got 2 finished but with below required percentage and started about 10.
That's awfully condescending and presumptuous, don't you think? I've taken zero Coursera courses (but did take the original AI course with Norvig and Thrun), but have been busy taking max credit loads at school, TAing, becoming the lead dev at a startup, and starting my own startup. I'm sure a ton of people here can say something similar. MOOCs are great--as highlighted by the article--and I intend to take more. But there are other worthy things to do too. "The good is the enemy of the best."
We're all very proud of you, but to me the OP seems to be making a general statement about achieving goals and productivity rather than specifically calling you out for not using Coursera.
I don't want to judge anyone but myself, but when a guy with severe autism is able to finish 6 courses and I am not, it doesn't quite matter that I am full time employed while trying to build 2 startups, being married, having a kid and getting involved into local community by being an active member of the second largest political party in romania
This is incoherent. You are comparing a deficit in literal ability to complete the courses (through some sort of disorder) with an inability to find the time to complete them. Just because someone is "autistic" does not mean that you necessarily ought to be able to achieve more than them, especially when there are wildly divergent constraints for both of you. There is no logical basis whatsoever for your assertion.
