When you don’t seek the best version of yourself, you end up depressed.

When you are distracted by the lives of others instead of living your own, you end up anxious.

When you keep missing out on opportunities you could have grabbed with a bit more courage, you end up angry.

The happier your life, the less time you spend thinking about the purpose of life, and the more you simply live it.

If you aren't tired when you go to bed and excited when you wake up, you need intensity and goals.

“Be satisfied with even the smallest progress," Marcus Aurelius said.

You’re never going to be perfect—there is no such thing. You’re human. So instead, aim for progress, even the smallest amount.

Most people can't handle boredom. That means they can't stay on one thing until they get good at it. And they wonder why they're unhappy.

Yeah it's cliché but waking up at 5 AM and *immediately* working for 3 uninterrupted hours on your highest-leverage project is the ultimate productivity hack.

You will be unlucky in life as long as you cannot control your emotions

because your will keep making the wrong decision every time you are in a stressful, but life-changing situation.

Get mentally stronger, life will get better.

It starts with not seeing yourself as a victim.

14 yo and 11 yo showed up at my office door asking for startup advice. I told them that the way to get really rich was to get good at programming now and start the startup in a few years, when knowing how to program had started to make good ideas visible.

Here is a completely free Computer Science curriculum for those with the discipline to go through it independently.

The curriculum follows the same degree requirements as an undergraduate computer science major and consists of courses from Harvard, MIT, and Princeton, among other colleges.

The curriculum has four major sections:

1. Introduction: Students can review this section and decide whether this fits them.

2. Core: This section corresponds to the first three college years.

3. Advanced: This section corresponds to the final year of a Computer Science curriculum in college.

4. Final Project: Students can validate, consolidate, and display their knowledge by completing this project.

Assuming you spend around 20 hours per week, you can finish in two years.

I won't lie: completing a curriculum like this alone will be hard. Having the support of professors and other students is very important, but if you have the discipline and the will, this material is amazing.

The link to the repository is on the screenshot and its ALT description.

Choose your five chimps carefully."

After that, depending on one's interest one can pursue whatever field one wants, web development, mobile development, data science, etc.
