    Mosly how to avoid things that you don't like, except for history and geography, - nothing in 12 yrs.

    The real learning begun at age of 25 , by burning middnight oil till 3 am, in ,, home university " ,

    after the daily job, while everyone is at the beach etc, you put in the hours.,

    150 books on physochology, entrepreneurship, leadership and so on, in the last 3 years, + directed, systematical consumption of thousands of videos, articals, screen time etc.,

    targeting specific skills, that i try to improve on,.

    During 10 months, moving away from being down 10% on portfolio daily PnL in Investopedias sim, through 10 another sims, -

    THE FASTER anything break out from a congestion into another congestion the more you should fade the move, even though it is screaming "i am a trend"
