One good way to do that is to write some non-trivial code. I feel like a broken record, but pick a thing you'd like to implement, and do it. If you're asking this question, it suggests to me that you'd do well to reinvent a wheel or two. It can be as small as Hamurabi or Reversi, or something more serious (a bug tracker for your future projects, maybe, or a text editor that can serve as the basis for your own personal IDE). It doesn't matter what it is, frankly, but start writing code that's a little bigger than you've done before. Force yourself to plan more, schedule more, and think more about what you're doing. Make your picture bigger.
Go out and make mistakes, it's good for you.

Program for a banking system? Better to make something you'll use. Eat your own dogfood, as they say - that'll really show you the importance of good design.

Actually i mean. that i have made a programme from bank system by using classes in cpp. it has three functions. one function shows ur current amount.second function(whithdraw) shows ,,when u withdraw some money from ur account.it shows ur remaining amount. the third function (deposite) show,,,when u deposite some money to your account,it shows ur net amount.i have done this programme in cpp by using Classes.

Right. Now make a program to keep track of your personal finances - and start keeping track of your personal finances with it.
