🧠 Mindset #2 🧠
Figure It Out
THEY FIGURED IT OUT!
PREREQUISITE TO CHANGING THE WORLD 🔑
“When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.
That's a very limited life.
Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.”
Figure it out
How to train to figure things out:�1. Stop asking simple questions.
2. Be confident in your intellectual abilities!
3. Practice solving problems that don’t have solutions.
Scenarios:
You: “What should I do for my create?”
Me: Figure it out.
You: “I don’t have a group for the challenge.”
Me: Figure it out.
You: “How do I use a variational quantum eigensolver to minimize the energy expectation of an ansatz state to find the ground state energy of a molecule?”
Me: Figure it out.
