@_LosColiseinos ¿Cómo terminaron los títulos en propiedad de los luchadores? ¿Nacieron como propiedad de particulares y eran rentados a las empresas? ¿Antes de "ganarlos" en el ring había que "comprarlos"?
If you have time to worry about the worst-case scenarios, you aren't focused on writing the best ones. Set up your safety net, then climb. Once in a while, stop and build a higher safety net. There's no point imagining how painful any fall might be. Keep looking up, keep rising.
The smartest and most successful person you know is also full of contradictions and they made a lot of mistakes throughout the years; once you understand that, it becomes clear that the many “great lives” that you could live are less about finding the right answers and more about simply having the courage to keep moving forward even as you crumble once in a while.
If AI can write the code, where do engineers create ✨ value?
That's the question @tom_enden tackles in this thought-provoking talk.
He explores how the role is evolving, which skills are becoming more important, and what may separate the engineers who thrive in the AI era from those who struggle to adapt.
Along the way, Tom connects ideas from influential voices such as @unclebobmartin, @karpathy, @paulg, @abeanstalker, and others to explore what engineering may look like in a world where AI writes the code.
If you're trying to understand where software engineering is headed - this talk is worth watching:
A lot of "talent" boils down to assuming that you have no talent, no particular good luck, that no one will help you for no reason, and that miracles don't happen.
That's when you will shift to the right mindset of taking responsibility for who you are and where you are in life.
That's when you will start clarifying and cultivating the right long-term habits and efforts.
That's also when "good luck" and miracles may start happening.
Mentally weak people are just people who had the privilege to have other people sort out their problems for way too long. It's impossible to not grow mentally stronger when you have to stand alone and take responsibility for where you are in life.
There is no such thing as being "too ambitious."
It's really clear to anyone who had any past success in any field that you either go way beyond your initial expectations, or you fail completely, there is rarely any in between.
We live in a society that rewards people who are already winning, and where "the best" takes it all, and where the "merely excellent" is effectively "invisible."
Most people who ended up with "average" lives actually worked really hard; and people who aimed for an "average life" right from the beginning actually often ended up with way more sufferings than they wanted; and the people with "extraordinary" lives actually often took "crazy" or unconventional risks to get there, or they were very disciplined for very long periods of time.
People who managed to "escape the competition" didn't get there with average standards and with "work-life balance" in mind; they were, ironically, actually often extremely competitive.
So many people with the best intentions fail to be good parents because they never understood that education was never about telling their kids what to do, but about the efforts, the values, the ambitions they embodied in their daily lives. You won't raise an emotionally healthy, mentally strong, bold and confident kid unless you are such a person first.
Success boils down to building the right type of wealth, the one that involves freedom: to become who you want to be, to nurture your unique talents, to enjoy laughters and deep conversations with your family and friends, to watch your children grow up and patiently guide them, to take calculated risks without feeling anxious, to read timeless novels slowly, to build your ambitious vision on your own terms.
A massive new study on peak performance included 34,000 international top performers: Nobel laureates, renowned classical music composers, Olympic champs, and the world’s best chess players. It shows early specialization is a trap, and the road to greatness is long and varied.
A lot of people with little talent choose careers where they can maximize their financial gains, then they feel better about themselves as they look down on people who struggle financially, but it's obvious that true success is when you feel no need to judge the lives of others, because you are having fun every day developing your own talents and becoming who you want to be, and people who are on such a path don't think much about money at all, although many "accidentally" become wealthy during the process, and not just in the financial sense.
Allowing your tastes to widen is one of the true pleasures in life. All the sudden there's more to like, more to discover, and less to reflexively recoil against.
"Oh that's cool TOO" is a deeply satisfying thing to say, feel, and experience.
@_LosColiseinos Nunca le había puesto atención a Gable hasta que lo empezaron a emparejar con mexicanos, me parece un luchador muy completo, ¿Le ves ese factor "x" para emular lo de Benoit/Bryan de ser un underdog muy técnico qué alcanza sitios estelares?
