Hugging your gf x failure
Studying mathematics honestly made me a better person.
Good stuff, OP.
I like audiobooks on philosophy and mythology. Always gets the noggin joggin
Phone put-downs 1x1
Laptop lid closes 1x1
I'm also learning Japanese, what method are you going for at the moment? Personally I'm focusing on just Kanji not words or grammar yet. I want to at least learn the ~2100 Jouyou first but really I just love learning them, and I love writing them as well, I find there is a certain beauty to them
I'm just learning how to speak it, not necessarily how to read and write kanji. I'm learn by exposure and using an ap (Ling)
I moved to Japan last year and am fluent/near fluent. My main approach was just grinding the hell out of Anki. I finished the Core 10k deck of near 10,000 words as well as making words I don't know into flashcards with Yomichan. Maybe it's not optimal but it worked for me and immersion is taking me to new heights. Imo the biggest thing is work on it every day for some amount. Like the gym, if you stay consistent and put in meaningful volume for a long time, you're gonna get great results !
I've learnt english and my iq fell of a cliff
You're not going to like it, but you should reduce internet usage, go outside more, and read paper books.
Anything working memory related, n-back, syllogimous RFT, mental math, chess, sudoku,
feeling a bit lost in my life at the moment so was thinking of just fucking off to china to learn the language for like a year (I'm a techbro so was thinking of freelancing web dev or whatever to keep the cash rolling in when over there), anyone had any experience doing something like that?
No but that sounds pretty cash money tho
thanks lads, to tell the truth I already went like 5 years ago for a month and actually loved the place hence wanting to go back, although ngl the rising global tensions are a bit of a concern but I'm bong not american so hopefully should be fine
I haven’t, but a few guys I know did and none of them had any regrets about it. Definitely seemed to come out of it a lot more well-rounded
I read a quote in a Dale Carnegie book that said "he who constantly ponders about his experiences will possess the best memory" (or something to that tune, it wasn't in English). So I've been doing that a lot, and it really feels like I am sharper mentally, not even because I can remember more, but because all the relevant facts and questions are constantly in front of me and so when time comes to come up with a solution to a problem they come up first and all the bullshit is kept at bay.
I've also stopped using pen and paper for calculations in my classes and only using a calculator only for division and square roots. It hindered me for some time but now I can about keep up with the other students and it feels dope as hell
Haha my bro is just pondering
Learn something new everyday
But the most important thing is to challenge yourself, if you think something is too hard, force yourself to try anyway. This alone expands your world. Better to feel stupid failing something hard than assume you're smart by living in an ever dwindling comfort zone.
Constantly challenge yourself to think deeper and do better about whatever task you have at hand. Don't believe whatever assumptions you have.
Any resources to learn Japanese my fellow aniki?
learning a musical instrument maybe?
im trying to learn guitar but i think im kinda retarded and my progress is incredibly slow
Slow people can do the same things as smart people. It just takes them a little longer. You'll come around.
Been learning guitar for 3 years now as a self taught player. My goals are based around improvisation. Self expression through an instrument can yield benefits for the body & mind.
Learn c++
