What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Be happy. Prioritize being and feeling joyful, or at least content. There is no use to worry so much. Things will be good. There is no reason to fear or play it too safe and cowardly, you’ll be ok.

Even in the midst of the deepest winter you can find your happiness.

Start becoming an expert in machine learning, mathematics, and physics. Read a bit every day. Even if takes you 10 hours to understand a simple equation, it is worth it, what else are you going to do anyway? And over time slowly the expertise will build up.
