"One of the most frequent questions I get asked in my DMs is: "How do I become good at anything?" It's a question we all grapple with at some point because feeling inadequate simply isn't enjoyable. So, what does it truly take to excel in a skill or area of knowledge?
First and foremost: cultivate curiosity. Without it, you're essentially inert. Think of it as the engine that drives your learning journey. It's that intrinsic desire to ask "why," "what if," and "how does this work?" Curiosity is a gift we're all born with; it's just a matter of nurturing it.
Next comes genuine interest. Curiosity sparks the initial questions, but interest sustains you on the path to finding answers. It's the force that compels you to dig deeper, to explore the nuances, and to truly connect with the subject matter. It transforms a fleeting question into a lasting pursuit.
But curiosity and interest alone aren't enough. You also need intentional courage. This isn't about grand, heroic acts; it's about the daily, deliberate choices that prioritize growth: the courage to allocate time for focused practice, the courage to set boundaries and eliminate unnecessary distractions, the courage to prioritize long term goals over immediate gratification. It's about pushing through the moments when you feel like giving up, when the path ahead seems dauntingly steep.
And recognize this: Learning is effortful. Growth isn't free. It requires investment of time, energy, and focus. There will be frustration, setbacks, and moments of self doubt. But it's in those challenging moments that the real learning happens. Don't expect instant gratification; focus on consistent progress.
Remember, becoming good at anything is a journey, not a destination. It's about embracing the process, celebrating small wins, and continuously striving to learn and improve.
As the saying goes, "The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried." So, embrace the failures, learn from your mistakes, and keep moving forward."

I'm trying to use the Sicilian and Caro-Kann defense. But still getting humbled.
Any thoughts?

As somebody who spends so much time on the internet ( specially on telegram ) interacting with different people on different issues, I frequently stumble upon people who engage in a very bad manner. And such interactions usually make my day go very bad and I actually get depressed afterwards.
So I made this telegram bot to help me keep track of such people and to appreciate the ones who are very nice to interact to.
The bot is called "Karmalogs", where you rate somebody in a group based on the vibe you perceived, out of 10. You can also add comments about that person.
Your rating will be recorded and be shown to others ( anonymously ), so that they can avoid/proceed to interact with that person, even if its in another group.
IDK how much applicable it would be. But i thought it would be a fun project to do.
Add it to your groups and check it out :)

I find the appeal of natural theology lies in its elegant ambition. It seeks to understand the divine not through scripture or religious authority, but through the very fabric of the natural world. The universe, in its intricate order and apparent design, becomes a grand textbook revealing the attributes and existence of God. It's a project that empowers human reason to discern spiritual truths independently, fostering a sense of wonder and intellectual exploration that resonates deeply with me. The idea that we can uncover God's presence through observation and logic, rather than relying solely on received wisdom, is a profoundly satisfying endeavor.
