Learning one programming language helps you learn all other languages easier. The main thing you need to realise is that with programming, it's not learning the language that is hard, it's learning how to program. To be a good programmer takes years of practice and dedication.

Yes. Java is based off C++. My learning path (in java and c++ anyway) was java (didn't understand anything), c++ (understood everything), and back to java (understood everything and then some).

Best to always learn Python first, as not only is it written in a language folks can understand, it forces writing good code (you'll learn how and why indentation [and commenting] is important, too -- which on projects is so critical as other programmers aren't mind readers). Plus with the garbage collectors, you'll have to write the strings right, or it won't run.
C++ takes on average about 20 years to master, so it's not a path for those who just want to write a few programs and/or into commercial software (C#/.Net/Visual Basic, etc. are better for that for the masses). But anyone ever dreaming into getting into game programming (or 3D animation -- to learn the programming side) it's a must to learn.
Java is another ball of wax all together, and it's a high language (claiming it's most human, but reads anything but).
YMMV, but C++ is sweet if you have the patience to learn it.

I stumbled onto this guy's blog, who has written some financial trading software using C# and F#. Lots of great info sprinkled about in his posts.
