1/ Keep asking why.
We're born as very curious individuals. Over time, we lose this curiosity because we're told 'that's how things are always done'
Keep asking why. The greatest builders keep asking why.
@elonmusk asked why is going to space so expensive - hence, @SpaceX

2/ Be curious. @SahilBloom learnt about Pufferfish - completely random but fun to know.
It's like Steve Jobs learning calligraphy. You never know how something works out. Dots connect only in hindsight.

3/ Mental models are great.
But you need to know which models are useful at what times.

6/ How to craft beautiful Twitter threads like Sahil:
- Make your threads readable - don't huge chunks of text together.
- Write for 5 year olds/ your mom - everyone should be able to understand your content easily.
- Add insights that no one else has provided

7/ Writing can be an amazing learning tool.
If you can write and simplify, you'll learn so much about a topic.

8/ Learn do learn do learn do - This is the new way of doing things.
You don't need to learn everything before diving in. Keep iterating.
That's how you become better. Learning by doing is the new normal.
