The more you avoid structure the harder your life will get to figure out!

[blue @bluewmist]

you have to move through life and love assuming the answer is yes. assuming people want to see you, help you, hire you, hug you, love you. otherwise, every bid for connection or growth will be laced in fear and desperation. and people can smell that from a mile away.

The older you get, the more you realize luck is just exposure.
If you sit in the same chair, same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new happens.
You have to touch the world to win.
Travel more. Talk to strangers. Try a new coffee spot. Post on social media. Start a side hustle.
The world rewards motion. You don't find opportunity sitting still.

i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from:
•getting humiliated

•showing up terrified and doing it anyway

•admitting you might be the problem

내 주변에서 잘되는 사람들의 공통점

1. 운동을 꾸준히 한다.
날씨가 안 좋거나 피곤해도 거의 매일 운동을 챙긴다. 몸을 관리하는 걸 생활의 기본으로 여긴다.

2. 자신의 분야에 멘토가 있다.
혼자서 다 하려 하지 않고, 이미 그 길을 잘 걸어온 사람에게 지속적으로 조언을 구하고 배운다.

3. 자신을 믿는다.
불안하거나 흔들릴 때도 ‘내가 못할 이유는 없다’는 마인드를 유지한다. 자기 의심을 최소화한다.

4. 포기하지 않고 계속 시도한다.
처음에 안 된다고 바로 손 놓지 않고, 여러 번 도전하면서 방법을 찾아낸다. 끈기가 강하다.

5. 조용히 자기 일을 한다.
SNS에 과시하거나 주변에 크게 떠벌리지 않는다.

It is a misconception that being highly technical and intelligent is all you need to succeed.

The world is so full of slightly autistic, highly smart, highly technical people that never get what they want out of life.

That is because they fail to express what they want out of life or to bridge their interests with anyone that might be able to get them there.

Being able to communicate well is a rare gift, and is why the top at so many places is unfortunately over-indexed on people with great communication skill as opposed to great technical skill.

Demis Hassabis recommendation for college students.

He’s still do STEM, math and computer science. Expertise in those fields will help better leverage AI for at least next decade.

Those in non-techical majors, really “lean in to” using latest models. AI labs spending so much time creating new models that they’ve only “scratched the surface” of what the models can actually do (huge “capability overhang”).

And expertise in any field can be turbocharged by smart use of AI.

[Ali Fahmy @Alihzfahmy]

I think many people mistake luck that it finds you. It is the total opposite, you have to do everything in order to maximize your surface for luck to find you!

I've been praying the past few weeks. Unsure why.

There's good evidence behind prayer. It mimics breathwork, calming the nervous system, dropping cortisol, and quieting the brain. Daily prayers show lower depression, anxiety, and pain.

I'd like to develop a prayer practice. Growing up, the protocol was written for me. Explaining whom to pray to, the structure of the prayer, and the boundary conditions.

I don't really know how to pray now.

A mistake that cost me 5 years: Thinking preparation was progress. Reading every book. Taking every course. Planning every detail. Meanwhile, someone dumber than me started badly and figured it out. Preparation feels productive but it's often just fear dressed up as strategy. You learn to swim by getting in the water, not by studying water.
