Now. The interesting part is what happened in the rest of the rich world. While life’s basics in America turned into unaffordable luxuries, elsewhere, the precise opposite happened. These basics grew cheaper and cheaper, until at last, they became goods that were simply freely provided for everyone. Hence, going to see the doctor in the UK, for example, is free, and a prescription costs a fixed amount, just a few pounds — whether it is penicillin or some cutting-edge drug. Meanwhile, healthcare in the US costs thousands more every year — while barely covering much. See the difference? The US and the world are mirror images — life’s basics became cripplingly expensive luxuries in America, but are moving towards being free everywhere else.

Sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself (as usual): Procrastinators put off cleaning the toilet, working out, and responding to email. They wait until the last minute. But there’s a segment of the population who, like me, will clean the toilet as soon as necessary, prefer to workout early in the day, and reply to an email even before having the information they need to write a thorough response. We precrastinators have a “tendency to rush to get things done as quickly as possible, even at the expense of extra effort,” writes the man who officially coined the term, David A. Rosenbaum. We don’t put off tasks… we try to get them done — now now now!

She “is grateful every day for the protection they provide from the shadows her job has cast on her family — the predatory photographers, the stalkers, the few famous kidnappings of children of stars, but the truth is she does not go whole days or even whole hours at home without wondering what these kind people think of her,” Scott wrote. “Secretly she finds herself feeling insecure and self-conscious even in her own yard, where from behind a shuttered window she knows good people can see her. She has made her world so small trying to escape the judgments of strangers… She will not work to project what she wants others to see (Kind! Down-to-earth! Humble! Normal!).”

“In 1974, astronomer Michael Hart published the first paper building on Fermi’s argument. Hart proposed that if an alien civilization had evolved in our galaxy, it would have developed interstellar travel and colonized its neighboring stars. These colonies would, in turn, launch colonizing expeditions to their neighboring stars, and so on, occupying the entire Milky Way within two million years.” -Excerpt from my book K3+
I hope that you already see a common motif here. As programming evolves, various ubiquitous patterns of code emerge. These patterns are boring, error-prone, and are totally not fun to work with. Eventually, they get recognized by programming language designers and are incorporated into languages as new features, increasing the overall level of abstraction, improving developer productivity and job satisfaction. This story repeats with each generation of languages as newer patterns build on top of features that used to be just programming patterns themselves a generation ago.
In a LinkedIn course on how to build resilience, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg shared that she adopted a new bedtime routine to help with grief and anxiety after the death of her husband, former Survey Monkey CEO Dave Goldberg. The routine is simple: Write three things down that you accomplished that day. The accomplishments don’t have to be big, Sandberg explained.

Learning can increase our knowledge, enrich our inner world, and lay a solid foundation for our future lives. Learning can also improve our literacy and let us understand the truth of life.

I'm not interested in learning Forex Trading or any other type of Trading,
Traders are selling into the hands of Institutional Investors are Buying, not selling.
I am interested in Life Long Learning and trying to better myself in
general, maybe learn a new language, learn to play a musical instrument,
Learn important skills which we missed going to school, in my case
Economics, or Math or Computer Programming.

that's true, learning is essential
If we will try to learn then we will be able to make self improvements.
Learning never ends, the fact we're alive simply means we gonna keep learning till death, many people fail to comprehend this things, there's a popular saying"no man is an island" which means no man has it all, or knows it all. We're all learning as the day goes. I'm a proud learner!..
It will always be an advantage at all aspects if you are knowledgeable. How to be ba smart? Make yourself learn something new. Learning is a nwver ending process. Even you have doctorate degree or whatever, there are things you dont know. Learning is for everyone.
Learning is the key as it enhances your knowledge and give you first-hand information and which can be used in your daily or professional life. One should keep reading and learning in areas of their interest and this keeps you on toes as well as in today's fast paced world things changes quickly and do not want to be outdated.
