给自己灌点鸡汤,大家共勉!

献给23届求学找工的同学–“Don’t Compare(不要比较)” from CS61A Fall 2019 Lecture 39 Video 4

Original English Version

Short notes

  • Freedom
    • Think about what is worth working on, since you only have so much time. Do something matters to both the world and you)
    • Fulfilling work
      • work on something you are good at
      • you like what you are working on
      • useful to the world in some way
      • You can take some time to find it, just keep looking around
  • Power
    • Don’t screw it up, we are building the world
    • Create a world that lots of people can contribute to it
    • The world we have today is due to contributions of millions of people who all did their part
  • Self-Worth
    • Don’t compare
    • Out there in real life, how you compare to somebody else doesn’t matter much at all
    • What does matter is what you are capable of, what you do, how you choose to spend your time, and what impact you have on the world.
    • It turns out your self-worth has nothing to do with what other people achieve, it has everything to do with what you achieve

      I hope it sticks with you, and it’s not a good idea to spend your time comparing yourself to other people, and just focusing on improving yourself.
