Why are you so smart? ^^


I think I was originally good at numbers/math b/c I attended 6 days of school (5 days of US, 1 day of Japanese school) and was taking double math courses. In both schools I was fortunate to have friends/classmates to compete with in one way or another.

I wasn't a particularly spectacular student till 7th grade, when I got a B in math for the first time ever. It was a wake up call that I needed to figure out how to study (also I think I got 79.6 in History and narrowly missed a C). My friends were getting 4.0's so i KNEW I could do it as well. I somehow figured out how to study for tests and from there on it was basically figuring out "the system" teachers placed on us, and operating within its rules. (btw back in 5th grade I got like 36 on a take home open book history test lol)

To this day I don't think I'm naturally brighter than the average person. I do however work 2-3x as hard as the average person usually. (though I have periodic burnouts...)

I did academic work after athletics for something like 6 hours a day during HS. NONE of my friends in College worked like this - most of them just shot the breeze.

Also I was blessed to have some Great teachers along the way. 5th and 6th grade Math teacher, 7th and 8th grade Grammar teacher, etcetc.

Hmm... well, hope this answers the question somewhat. Good Environment + Competitive nature I guess is the short answer.


I was going to ask where you got your ridiculous work ethic from but this might answer that question, if it doesn't I'd like to hear any elaborations.

If you could learn a language (assuming you'd have lots of time etc) what would it be and if you had to recommend a language to someone else would it be a different one?
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I think work ethic naturally arises when you're able to work on things that you truly believe in or are interested in. During HS, I had an incredible work ethic because I would do everything in my power to get into the best university I could (which in turn, I believed was in my long term best interests). However, during college I felt massive burnout because I didn't have a particular concrete "goal" to strive towards.

Currently I find myself without necessary such a concrete goal, but I instead pursue intellectual interests. These include finance, marketing, data visualization, programming, self reflective writing, design, and reading, among others. I average something like 3 hours of "productive time use" outside of my "job". I think we can all develop great work ethic in areas that we identify with personally.

At this immediate moment, I spend the most time reading online (hacker news is a great aggregator), reading books (god bless amazon), and writing blogs. I don't always update my TL.net blog, but I write something new for my personal blog (link in sig) every day.

<hr>

As for language, I believe that anyone in business who aspires to be on the world stage should learn Mandarin Chinese. Even if you can't use it "at a business level", being able to speak the language casually will go to great lengths in forging a bond with people from China. Now keep in mind that if you do business in China, you MUST have a Chinese native on your team. However, knowing the language, I believe, will be invaluable.

This being said, the most important language in the world for the foreseeable future will remain to be English. Anyone who is not a native speaker of English should constantly strive to improve their English. Whether you like it or not, it is the world's language.

Nope.
Definitely one of the places I'd love to visit. I prefer nature over man-made monuments when traveling to somewhere new

Settlers of Catan

Street Fighter 3, 3rd strike
Tetris
Final Fantasy VI
SaGa 2

The Naked Lobster Sandwich at "Old Pro Lobster Shack" in Redwood City, California.
The Toscano at A.G. Ferrari's in the South Bay Area, California

Do great things that others don't think of, or are reluctant to do. Continue to do these things on a consistent basis, regardless of the immediate appreciation you may or may not receive. Some of the things I did include: translating 2chan threads, writing generally high quality material, live reporting nearly every BW match for a good number of months, uploading VODs to the tracker as well as for particular threads, starting various thread initiatives, being part of the TL Travian team, etc

I would say to them that they absolutely correct, without any shred of doubt.

I'd try to figure out which kinky pornography/hentai world I'm now suddenly a part of, and try to figure out if I'm playing the role of a character who's going to die / get killed

Straight from my brain right now, "damn, a good question is just as important as a good answer"

(I'll try to answer the question tomorrow )
