5 Lessons Every Week

Hello friends,

Today is going to be an update about the lessons I've learned over the past week. This is sort of a follow up from the previous post I've made which you can read about it here.

Without further ado, here are the 5 lessons I've learned.

7 Oct - Focus on navigating data rather than getting more data.

8 Oct - Immediately execute after a eureka moment.

9 Oct - A theory is a model that correctly explains a big number of observations.

10 Oct - There are still tons left to discover. So always ask questions!

11 Oct - Being compassionate is a choice.

If you've noticed, my previous post was inspired by the lesson I've learned on October 8th. I can kinda see the benefits of writing down these lessons since they can get my mind thinking about those ideas and I'll inadvertently try to relate them back to my life. Having these lessons at the back of my head helps piecing things together about the experience I'm having.

Other than that, some other interesting thing I want to highlight is that the lesson I've learned on 7th October resonates well with what I've written before when I was making a report for my work. Probably I will share them here one day. Just to give you a teaser, the title is: Dell' Security Transformation For The Digital Era.

When I first decided on writing these lessons, I initially figured that the lessons should be random stuff that could either be sourced from online readings, my own train of thoughts or my life experience so that these lessons brings benefits from the bigger perspective. But I quickly noticed that there isn't much structure to that kind of approach and I end up thinking about the source of the lessons more than about the lessons itself. 

So I've decided on a new approach, which is to only list down one lesson I like from the list of books in the four minute books summary. With this, I already have a source for the lessons so all I have to do is to just list out which lessons from the summary I think makes the most sense to me. To be honest, I'm not giving much thought on all these but I believe that we can improve on things as we go on this journey of being 1% better everyday!

Stay curious friends!
