The problem is that we attempt to solve the simplest questions cleverly making them unusually complex. We don't always have to go overboard with exotic or complex ways to solve a problem but instead stick to simple solutions unless there is a good reason to do otherwise.
One word to sum up the experience: Grateful. Grateful to a lot of people for helping me stay motivated here with their sage advice and inspiration. Cheers to one & many more to go! 🍻

Oh boy, one year at @swagup already. Life goes on so quickly and we don't even realize it. What an year it has been! Definitely challenging, but, made me come out of my comfort zone. And It's only after you step out of your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow & transform.
When you find out that you made a mistake, take it as a sign that you just learned something new. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself. It helps you to focus less on proving yourself and more on improving yourself.
If you can’t become the best, quit.
It's 1995 and Jeff Bezos is a junior at Princeton taking a Quantum Mechanics class.
And he just can't solve this math problem.
Here's the story and a lesson you need to hear🧵
Great boxers spend very little time talking about their punches and a whole lot of time practicing and throwing them. They get into the ring they move, they spar, and then do it all again the next day.
Designing a new system or fixing the existing shouldn't involve endless debates on process & technique. Focus should always be on delivering value quickly & then iterating improvements.
