You have already started !!

All you need is to have patience - This is not a subject to learn in a day !!

Just keep looking and understand what problems other's are facing and try to come up with the solutions....That's what I am doing...The best way to learn...!!

Try to take some assignments on your own by trying some simple programs which you must have done in C, If you are working in any organisation then think of some task which could be automated with the shell.But be sure not to automate every task !! Otherwise your manager may think of your release :-) ( My personal experiance )
