HOW TO RUN

I tell you what changed me.

In the last year of my degree back in 2008, I saw a guy so in love with chemistry that he built his own timed pipette using a 3D printer.

That is then I knew I did not love chemistry.

I did not solo alone doing something I love for 3 weeks at a time.

This is how you determine what you love to do in the modern First World. What activity you can do all alone for 2-3 weeks without anyone helping you or guiding you?

…

Basically, you have to do the hardest thing that consumes you enough.

What is the hardest thing you can do that over exerts you but leaves you wanting more but still thriving?

It should be a topic that entrances you so that negatvity from the outside world doesn’t bother you.

You should know of an activity that keeps you on top and in your shuttle lane.

…

Remember, life is hard, but computing is gradual increases of good feelings, learning and growing.

You never lose if you compute the things you love.

Also it is all about mindset.

You have to capture the gradual growth mindset of building.

In the case of AI building, prompt and train better.

That is all it is.

I tell you what changed me doing computer science in Toronto from Ajax/Oshawa. This was in 2009. I went back to school for computer science and witnessed this:

School is just school.

You play around with the school work while you are doing your thing on your own time.

School should not be everything that matters.

…

If you played your cards right since birth, you have your own interests and passions that motivate you and uses up your time the makes you go-go and be happy or at least semi-happy.

When I went back to school in 2009 for computer science there was one student who probably knew what he was doing since the age of 9. He answered did the questions without feeling bogged down or hurt because he actually did computing and liked and had to do computing.

It is a mix-mash of liking, having to do it, having some fun, having lots of fun, thinking and doing computing since you were aware and understood life in the First World.
