The Secret to Success is Obsession
The secret to true success is that you have to truly enjoy what you’re doing - and if you do, you’ll sort out everything else along the way. If you want to succeed, finding the enjoyment in the things that you do is often more important than perfectly optimizing your approach, and will result in better results in the long run.
Fitness For Desk Workers
Large quantities of sitting are negatively associated with long term health - and unfortunately, many of us don’t have the luxury of getting away from our desks. Luckily, there’s a lot you can do to offset these negative effects to ensure optimal health in the long run - desk work is far from a death sentence!
Fitness Isn't A Hobby For Me Anymore
As a beginner, fitness was a hobby for me - as an expert with 17 years of experience, it’s something I’ve actively lost interest in thinking too much about. To a certain extent, the same thing has happened to my career in fitness, now reaching 11 years of experience. With enough experience, any hobby or career just becomes an automatic practice, and it becomes more and more natural to follow through.
I Genuinely Don’t Understand What You Like About AI
I don’t understand why we call LLM’s and generative models “AI” when it’s clear that this is far from any kind of general artificial intelligence. If you know how these LLM’s work, there’s not much magic to it, and it doesn’t always seem worth the effort to fight with an AI to find an answer to a question. While I believe that there is a possible future for AGI, I don’t know if our current LLM’s are anywhere near the mark.
You Can't Teach Passion
Passion is a key element of success in any endeavor - in general, passionate people rise to the top, and passionless people struggle to keep up. How can you identify your passions? How can you focus on the things that are important to you, and learn to avoid or minimize the things that aren’t? Each person is different, and that’s ok - your passions may not align with somebody else’s, and all you can do is try to find passion where you can and pursue it.
