Highlights & Notes
Learning is optimised when new skill acquisition is interleaved with existing skill reinforcement.
Himanshu and I had a lot in common. Looking back at the time when I was looking for internships in college, I identify two big mistakes which I was continuously making:
-
I used to think that I could start learning a new skill only when I was done learning the current skill at hand.
-
I fell victim to seeking permission from the world to get the things I wanted in life instead of going out and getting them for myself, now!
The second main problem is being boxed into waiting for a certain time to arrive or an event to occur before you can start taking “real” action. This is what I have learnt to call a permission-seeking mindset (thanks to Taylor Pearson for introducing me to the ideology).
The market only rewards the people who step up to the plate, and the market disproportionally rewards people who show up consistently, without really caring about how ready “they feel”.
