"The best way to improve your ability to think is to spend time thinking.

One way to force yourself to slow down and think is to write. Good writing requires clear thinking.

Writing gives poor thinking nowhere to hide."

When we focus on the competition, we become reactive.

When we focus on improving ourselves, we become innovative.

My advice is simple: Read a lot and discover a skill you enjoy.

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

If you work hard, the world bows before you!

This is PURE GOLD❤️❤️

नोएडा की सड़क पर कल रात 12 बजे मुझे ये लड़का कंधे पर बैग टांगें बहुत तेज़ दौड़ता नज़र आया

मैंने सोचा
किसी परेशानी में होगा , लिफ़्ट देनी चाहिए

बार बार लिफ़्ट का ऑफ़र किया पर इसने मना कर दिया

वजह सुनेंगे तो आपको इस बच्चे से प्यार हो जाएगा ❤️😊

Every task/activity/plan can be sorted into four buckets -
1. Important/Urgent
2. Imp./Non-Urgent
3. Non-Imp./Urgent
4. Non-Imp./Non-Urgent.
Learning everyday comes in bucket 2, but that where we get fuel that propels our career on a booster. One hour daily is all it takes.

I have recently discovered @obsdmd for note-taking. Such a powerful tool, I feel I am addicted.
Thank you @NickMilo @tallguyjenks for your helpful videos.

@iamprakash1810 This code brings a bit of nostalgia. Fresh out of school, in one of my coding interviews, I was asked FizzBuzz.
I did not make it to the next round despite coding the solution above.

Later on, I realized repeating divisions is a costly operation in CS.

FizzBuzz is a good filter

Use inbuilt bool() to evaluate functions:-

def is_off(x):
return bool(num % 2)

[x for x in [1, 4, 9] if is_odd(x)]

If you have a coding interview, some tricks to stand out if you are coding in #Python 👇

Use builtin sorted() function to sort -
- sorted(["cat", "dog", "monkey"], reverse=True)

- animals = [{'type': 'cat', 'age': 7}, {'type': 'dog', 'age': 3}, {'type': 'monkey', 'age': 1}]
- sorted(animals, key=lambda animal: animal['age'])

@driscollis It has to be Python.
Though I am a polyglot, I consider Python to be my native language 🙏🏻

@RedGregory1 @NotionHQ API 💯💯💯. So many cool plugins can be created now.

[Shashank Kumar @aProgrammerLogs]

@MolinaLuffy The App you have built has a great aesthetic. I really like it.
I discovered kTinker module today and created a clock using it. Next, I will try coding this app.

Digital clock in #Python in less than 30 LOC.
