I am going to mention the key things that I learned from this book. 1.

We are just being improved rather than being in the same state. 2. The purpose of setting goals is to win the game, but the purpose of setting systems is to play the game. i.e., enjoying the process of playing rather than focusing on winning. If I need to get good marks in my public exam, I should not just think about it like I should. But to create a system like studying 5 hours every single day, by doing that I will automatically get good grades, but how do I get myself into that? ...

Image
 Online courses are waste of time I personally believe that pre - recorded online courses are waste of time and live community courses are awesome and in this blog I'm gonna tell you why? We assume that online courses are the wealth of knowledge, yes it is but how many people actually completes the course?
