Do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip; it is your life's artwork, and you must craft it, hone it, and display it with the care of an artist.
यदि म संसारको भए र आफूलाई गुमाए भने, मैले के पाए ? यदि मैले संसार पाए र आफूलाई गुमाए भने मैले के पाए ? मैले भयानक सम्झौता गरेको छु, हैन र? आफूलाई खोज्न सुरु गर्नु नै आफ्नो सहायता गर्नु हो ।
The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement. Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.
As we potentially barrel haplessly towards the singularity, I sometimes worry about the removal of friction from everyday life.
Friction has two important psychological functions:
1) It acts as a filtration system, forcing us to each stop and think what is worth our limited time and attention. Remove friction and you remove the filtration, granting our attention to the highest clickbait bidder.
2) Struggle is where life’s meaning gets manufactured. It's the fact that it's so difficult to compromise in a long-term relationship that makes it so powerful when you stay together. By removing friction from every area of life, we are removing the opportunity for people to build the muscle of meaningful struggle.
Only following people who agree with you is a recipe for confirmation bias and groupthink.
Critical thinking depends on listening to people who question your assumptions and challenge your conclusions.
Learning is the product of engaging with a range of thoughtful views.
Life’s not fair, people are messy, and pain is inevitable.
Your peace depends on how fast you stop trying to fix everyone and how soon you start owning your response.
Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more - more stuff, more stimulation and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear or morality.
From dopamine's point of view, it's not the having that matters, it's getting anything new.

I spent over 40 hours reading (and rereading) The Nvidia Way by Tae Kim.
I then spent several days editing down 30 pages of notes from the book.
I deleted everything that wasn't How Jensen Works.

How to become High-Value:
Power is never handed down, it is extracted through competence, leverage, and timing.
Every hierarchy resists change because those at the top designed it to protect themselves, not to reward merit.
To rise, you must learn how to move through the system without being consumed by it. Ascension is infiltration.
Most men fail to rise because they announce their ambition too early.
They mistake effort for visibility, thinking that the louder they work, the faster they’ll be noticed.
But hierarchies don’t reward noise, they reward threat. You do not climb by proving you’re worthy.
You climb by becoming necessary, by being the one whose absence would create disorder.
Understand this: hierarchy is a living organism. Every level has predators and prey, every interaction is political, and every move is observed.
The weak rush forward; the strong maneuver quietly.
You build power by studying the ecosystem, identifying pressure points, and learning the language of those above you.
The man who knows how to make his superior look stronger without appearing submissive earns access. The man who competes openly is eliminated early.
The path upward is psychological and strategic.
You rise when your perception of the structure changes - when you stop seeing it as fixed and start seeing it as fluid.
Every policy, every rule, every superior has a weakness, a dependency, a need. The man who can fulfill that need, exploit that weakness, or create a new dependency becomes indispensable.
This is how power moves: quietly, through leverage disguised as loyalty.
