일론 머스크는 말했다.
“뇌가 아플 때까지 생각하라”고.
책이 술술 읽히고 강의가 쏙쏙 이해된다면, 안타깝게도 우리 뇌는 지금 아무 일도 하지 않고 있을 확률이 높다.
술술 읽히는 공부는 뇌에 어떤 흔적도 남기지 않는 ��지적 엔터테인먼트’에 불과하다.
진짜 시냅스가 재구성되고 장기 기억이 새겨지는 순간은,
도무지 떠오르지 않아 머리가 쥐어짜지는 듯한 그 불쾌하고 답답한 고통의 시간뿐이다.
성장은 언제나 매끄러움이 아니라 마찰력에서 온다.
Nothing is out of reach. Whatever you want, you can have it, but understand the world doesn't run on fairness or dreams or potential.
It runs on force, on who takes action and who waits, on who moves and who talks themselves into staying still. You don't get what you want by wanting it badly enough. You get it by becoming someone who refuses to live without it, by building your entire life around that one obsession and cutting loose everything that doesn't serve it.
to live an extraordinary life, all you need is to promise yourself that you will not do the things that other people around you do
forget everything you have been taught. ignore the masses and any social norms others told you are the right thing to do. it's a lifestyle trap
You need to realize that there is almost no competition right now. More and more people are drawn to escapism. Dopamine traps such as TikTok and Reels have effectively fried about 70% of humans. Attention spans decrease; ambitions drown. You have no competition. In a few years, you will be able to see a clear elite.
My advice to anyone starting out:
Develop a very strong opinion about yourself.
Know exactly who you are & who you are not.
If you don't, random people will try to tell you who you are, and you might just start believing them.
