Weakness haunts all men .All of them. I'm not talking necessarily about physical weakness, like being too weak to lift heavy things. No I'm talking about the real weakness: weakness of spirit. Weakness of will . The inability to take action. This is what eats a man. - Joe Rogan.
one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Now is probably the best time to learn how code works, not coding itself, and everything around the software development ecosystem, because for 20 dollars a month I am basically an entry level engineer.
Jensen Huang: âYour job is to make a unique contributionâ
When Stanford MBA students ask his advice, Jensen offers the following:
âYour job is to make a unique contribution, to live a life of purpose, to do something that nobody else in the world would do or can do⊠so that after youâre done, everybody says the world was better because you were here.â
To do this, Jensen recommends going forward in time and then looking backwards:
âYou figure out what is the end result that youâre looking for, and you work backwards to achieve it.â
He gives his experience with NVIDIA as an example:
âI imagine NVIDIA making a unique contribution to advancing the future of computing, which is the single most important instrument of all humanity. No, itâs not about our self-importance, but this is just what weâre good at. And itâs incredibly hard to do. And we believe we can make an absolute unique contribution. Itâs taken us 31 years to be here, and weâre still just beginning our journey.â

Key to winning:
Choose to be positive and grateful. Then, just keep at it. Time is the great compounder and will do the rest.
So many people just donât have the discipline to stay positive and grateful. Then time compounds the bitterness instead.
