Hypotheses and Conclusions V2

January 2026

• Agency is far superior than intelligence, it signifies courage, your ability to navigate uncertainty and how well you can handle failures. • Prodigies usually matter when you are trying to find the cure for cancer or landing the rockets, otherwise "how easy you are to work with", determination, and honesty are pretty good ingredients for greatness. • Juggling multiple things is an art, and like every art, there is a pattern. Patterns can be learned. (Single-threadedness doesn't go very far, at least there is a ceiling, unless you're lucky to have an event loop or a browser to do the tasks.) #Still trying to learn this. • Any good outcome is a vector product of good people and the right direction. Strength without direction is a wasted force. • Right mentorship is what adds curvature to an otherwise linear trajectory. It's pretty underrated and is an easy argument to refuse due to the conflicting "I did it" theory. • Post-college is the very first time you see the divergence among your peers [MBAs, Startups, Higher Studies]. It's a bit scary place to be in, but it is also the very first time you do get a shot at seriously attempting what you want. • Money still takes up a lot of space in your life. (Hopefully changes after a point)
