When i was coming to this place for the first time, i had the exact plan in mind. However very quickly i realised the necessity to learn first. Any ignorant can call him/herself an expert and publish a signal. You need to be able to filter out the talk, in order to see the walk, if you want to "earn".  

Not sure what you mean by mirror, but see:
