I read some books and came across nuggets of wisdom that I will most likely carry for the rest of my life. Here are some of them in no particular order:

  • aging is a desease - David A. Sinclair
  • Polish the mind and polish the body
  • exponential growth is unpredictably fast
  • invest long term
  • read books
  • meet people in person (don’t zoom)
  • Be arrogant enough to take on the challenge, and humble enough to learn from others
  • Move towards your goals a tiny bit every day
  • Say hi to the person next to you
  • its almost always better to do nothing than to consume social media or play games without friends.
