Introduction

The past year or so of my life has been a time of never ending change. It started out with a period of true freedom. I traveled the world, playing ultimate, going skiing and spending time with good friends. In retrospect, this period took place right before the rise of COVID-19, making it a true blessing that I was able to enjoy the end of my time in school appropriately.

Then, a period of accelerated development began. I studied for the Psychometry test on my own, went through a 2 month course, then another 4 month course. Throughout this time, I found myself striving for greatness. Feeling challenged and stimulated to grow and become better. 

This journey of learning brought great ups and downs. At times, I felt absolutely fantastic, inspired and amazed at myself. But for periods, I felt the never ending struggle weighing down on me. The friction and diverse barriers presenting themselves to me, slowed my march towards expertise to a grinding halt. 

Since, I have realized different ways to deal with the friction and failure, and I've grown a lot because of it. It's kind of amazing to look back at myself only a year ago, to picture who I was then, and who I am now.

This self reflection on the past is not the point of this blog. It is merely the setting. The past period of time brought me to an extreme point of striving for excellence, knowledge-wise and skill-wise alike. That being my mindset, the point of my writings are now to document my many thoughts and ideas on excellence, leadership, challenges and dealing with them, creativity, problem solving and the acquisition of knowledge and valuable skills. I hope I am able to convey my thoughts in a convenient way that allows for easy consumption. 

That's it. To my future self reading this, or anyone really, I hope this gives you some kind of value.

Self Discipline

"The ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses; the ability to pursue what one thinks is right despite temptations to abandon it." Self discipline is interesting to me. I have been consuming a lot of content based around the idea that some things are difficult to do. I find myself surprised some times at the idea of people being lazy, not working towards goals. I find it easy to do things I value, because I truly value them. I don't value comfort as much as others do. I value achieving my goals. I get addicted to the gym because I want to be fit. I want to be attractive, strong, athletic. Somehow this makes the lifting itself very pleasurable as well.  I like working. I find myself wanting to stay later. Not because I want other people to think I'm working. But because I want to make progress. I want to be productive. I want to move forwards and finish things. I value my work.  Some of this is simply because I don't have so many tempt...

Truth

 Certain things are factual. They exist.  We tend to represent things that exist in different ways. Our representations tend not to be true.  This isn't always the case - some representations can be tied in certain ways to the absolute truth. Here are some examples of things that are tightly dependent on the truth, and some that aren't. Let's start with code. Code is, by definition, the truth - what is written will happen. Sometimes code can be misleading though. Dirty, convoluted code can mislead us as to what is happening. We might interpret it in untruthful ways - there might be side effects we didn't notice, etc. This is why it's important to write clear, expressive code. Next up, we have documentation in code. Comments, docstrings, etc. These can be truthful - but certainly aren't the truth. There's a difference - and having a false piece of documentation can throw us off of our goal of quickly learning the truth when we are reading code. This can happe...

Retention

I've spent a lot of time recently learning things. The past year has been one long period of learning - studying for Psychometrics, Amnon, Hibur, and now in the team. Along the way I spent some time learning alone too - doing Euler, Natas, React & Django, Fluent Python and Understanding the Linux Kernel. Some of the things I learnt were in other fields too, like reading the Selfish Gene and Rich Dad Poor Dad, as well as watching videos on Statistics and Economics on CrashCourse. After all this learning, I realized how weirdly my mind retains information. I don't actually learn and become knowledgeable in the fields, but I suddenly have these connections that I didn't have previously. Things click, but I can't explain them in depth.  What became clear to me is that actually experiencing things, practicing them, is absolutely key to retention. Just copying code or reading or listening isn't enough to allow you to explain the subject to someone. You need to use the...
