In the forever pursuit for getting more done with less in our lives, there is just one thing that just can’t fit this ideal – learning.

Learning has no shortcuts. It is a long and tedious process of practicing again and again until you can’t get it wrong. Forget about GET 2X THE RESULT FOR ½ THE EFFORT, they only happen in advertisements. The truth is, you can never be comfortable with the results of learning unless it is real hard work.

Learning coding? Pick up the dictionary-like ‘Basic C Programming’ book and start flipping. Picking up running? Draw up a schedule and hit the pavement. At the end of the day, be proud to tell people, ‘i’m self-taught, yet professionally trained.’
