Reading a book isn’t a race—the better the book, the more slowly it should be absorbed.
The number of books completed is a vanity metric. As you know more, you leave more books unfinished. Focus on new concepts with predictive power.
To think clearly, understand the basics. If you’re memorizing advanced concepts without being able to re-derive them as needed, you’re lost.
More hours will not necessarily convert into more knowledge.
Its better to focus on productivity.
Distribute your syllabus in chunk and try to handle one at a time.
Also remember that an exam is not an end game, there is many more things that will come in life.
Your life is a firefly blink in a night. You’re here for such a brief period of time
Make sure you enjoy it, because there is no legacy. There’s nothing to leave. We’re all going to be gone. Our children will be gone. Our works will be dust.
