The art of moving...

Don't let anyone tell you moving is not stressful; when you have to cross the border that complicates the matter even more.

I understand now how much my dad had to go through when he moved our entire family over. That must have been a feat of enormous proportion. He moved into a completely new culture with a different governing system. But I had no idea at the time, since I was still trying to understand why we moved and coping with adjusting to yet another move in my young life - I was 14 and rebellious.

From HK to England, to Toronto, to Waterloo, to Ottawa, there was not once that I had company while I moved. From Ottawa to Waterloo, and now Waterloo to San Diego, I'm going solo. The lesson I learned from this is that a modern mercenary has to be mobile as ever. You simply cannot keep too many things.

Piotr Wozniak's prescription to becoming a genius

When someone spends his whole life mastering the technique of learning, you listen...

Clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity.
