I wish my hobbies were more motivating. I really want to get into them. I just don't. I don't have any hobbies. I like learning new things and working on interesting problems. Once I learn about a topic, I lose interest in it. Furthermore, when you spend all your time doing fun things, you don't have time to do boring ones.

You can achieve a lot just by putting in what everyone else does, but there is much more for you to get if you are willing to go that extra mile. For most people, going the extra mile is associated with the end: when you've done all you're supposed to do. You work hard and you do your best, and then when it's over you push yourself a little harder than everyone else, and that's what makes you stand out.

Here’s my greatest life experience: I grew up in a little town with a population of 15k and was able to get out and see the world. I have a humble upbringing which has taught me how lucky I am to have what I have and that it’s never too late to start over. This experience has showcased to me that you shouldn’t let the little things get completely out of hand, because when it hits the fan, you’ll end up wishing you had done something different.
