Breakthroughs take time.

Curiosity is the ultimate cheat code. It makes learning effortless and turns hard work into play. While others force focus, you’re pulled in naturally.
Is there a better way?
Be aware if you have too many answers.
Luck requires preparation.

Earn your tools.
"I'm listening."
A worthwhile search.
Action.

The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.
No discomfort? No breakthoguhs.
That time of the year.
In the short term, chasing curiosity might not always make sense – no clear payoff, and you might even look silly. But keep going – it’ll take longer than you think, but it’s worth it.
Keep going.
