“The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.”

Goals are the actions you think about but don’t do. Habits are the actions you do but don’t think about.

Better goals require a lot of effort and change little. Better habits will change everything.

Your life is determined by the amount of uncertainty you're willing to embrace.

@tferriss Ali Abdaal i think has referred to the book previously and a quick google search seems to confirm this :).

"People are like 'I don't want to do so many problems. Just want a conceptual thing, an intuitive understanding.'

Intuition is the result of repetition. You have to do reps. That's where the intuition comes from. Me or anybody explaining something to you that feels intuitive -- you don't have the intuition. You have to earn intuition.

Whether it's shooting free throws or doing math problems or whatever, you get the reps in, you get the intuition. You don't wanna suffer, well you don't get intuition."

Your brain can rewire itself at any age. Most people think it's too late to change. They're wrong. Neuroplasticity doesn't have an expiration date.

A mentor once told me: "Discipline is simply the act of remembering who you said you wanted to be and then acting like it." The question isn't "Can you do it?" It's "Are you willing to live like the person you claim you want to become?" If the answer is yes, anything is possible.

Pay attention to your laziness.

Layering advanced skills is one of the most powerful techniques for building deep understanding of component skills and concepts.

Basically the idea of “structural integrity” in the context of knowledge.

[Stat Arb @quant_arb]

You shouldn't ever try to brute force "read" a textbook. You read sections, do some experimenting, go back. It's reference material. It's not a regular book. Trying to read the whole thing is a waste of time and you'll forget it all.

study linear algebra.

it’s the hidden language of the universe.
everything from 3D graphics, robotics, control systems, quantum physics, and even AI; runs on vectors, matrices, and transformations.

it teaches you how systems evolve, how dimensions interact, and how to represent change mathematically.

you start seeing everything as relationships; rotations, projections, and mappings.

once you understand that, the world becomes programmable.
study linear algebra. it’s not just math; it’s structure, logic, and geometry fused together.
