Focus

 I found this from Quora digest email and it is an eye-opener for me and a reminder to myself to keep on moving forward for progress. I must learn to do something that I like. If you love your work, it shouldn't feel like work.


Q: How did Elon Musk learn so much?

He once explained how he does it and his reasoning is very sound.

It went something like this….

Elon how can you accomplish so much so fast?

"Most people work 40 hours / week. I work 100 hours / week. That means what it takes a regular person 1 year, it takes me roughly 4 months to complete. Simply put I'm just working a lot more and learning at a much faster rate than my competition".

I’m pretty sure that by “work”, he also means reading and thinking in the evenings.It’s alarming how much time we waste watching TV and doing other meaningless things to pass the time. I’ve got this university text-book here on cryptography, in the introduction it notes that 30–35 hours of coursework should cover it. That means if I’m willing to read for 3 hours a day, I can learn undergrad level modern cryptography in 2 weeks.

Extrapolate that. It’s pretty astonishing.
