Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #38: Persist Through the Desire to Give Up On Your Ambitions.
   Geniuses make the choice to persist through obstacles, taking themselves further and further into the unknown. They take themselves gleefully into places where they are not even sure how they will ever get out safely. They may work on a problem that they feel is completely beyond them, and dedicate years or decades of their lives to it. Einstein spent a great deal of time contemplating issues of the universe, for example. He took the Risk of investing so much of his time with the possibility that in the end he would have nothing to show for it. He pushed through any pain or dear, and continued.
   
   Many great geniuses reach a point where they feel alone and that it would be better just to give up. The realist is that the greatest problems are not easy to solve. They take great persistence. The great geniuses ultimately realize this, and so they don’t give up. They push themselves completely, and they take their minds beyond where most of ours will ever go. To take your mind to the greatest enlightenment and reach the greatest revelations, it take real mental effort over time.
   
   You can practice this skill by starting small. When you find a stubborn homework problem, or you have a problem fixing a broken system of any kind, don’t stop at the first obstacle. Persist until you figure it out. Learn to persist through pain, boredom, fear, and strain, to keep going and going. Press on until you reach a solution. Then take that mental training and touch skin with you to whatever great problem you set your mind to.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #37: Pay Attention to Overall Patterns, and the Anomalies That Do Not Fit.
   Life largely consists of patterns and anomalies. The patterns are the general structures, the things you expect to see because you’ve seen them happen so many times before. In fact, our brains often naturally pick up general patterns and tendencies. Once you know what to expect quite well, you will be prepared to notice anomalies. The things or events that don’t fit with the context. Often, by realizing that there is an anomaly present, we can further investigate it. Darwin realized on his voyage studying other life forms that there were many minor variations among different species of birds. This was inconsistent with his prior worldview that we were all fixed species that never changed form. He took that anomaly and investigated it further, founding the theory of evolution.
   
   Geniuses learn the patterns, the tendencies of a system, and if they come across an anomaly they do not discard it. They focus on it until they understand why it happened. Often times it is the unexpected anomaly that leads to a great breakthrough of a discovery.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #36: Know Your Strengths and Weaknesses, and How to Make Them Work For You.
   Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Some comm on areas of strength and weakness are self-confidence, social skills, and management skills, and a variety of technical skills. Depending on what you want to do, you might not need to fix your weaknesses. If you are a manager, sometimes it is okay not to fully understand all of the technicalities. It is more important to be able to get a team to accomplish the necessary work. Or course, if the weakness is a critical area that you need to perform your daily tasks, then it is important to work on improving it.
   
   You strengths are also important to recognize. If you are naturally good at speaking, but not at writing, you can steer your self toward positions that play up your natural presentational abilities. Be aware of your general strengths and weaknesses, and how you compare to your peers. Also pay attention to which strengths and weaknesses, and how you compare to your peers. Also pay attention to which strengths and weaknesses are most critical for what you want to accomplish. Focusing on the critical skill sets will help you reach your goals more easily.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #35: When You Get a Great Idea, Ask Yourself if the Timing is Right to Execute it.
   Will the public be ready for you idea? Imagine that you are living around the time of 1800 in Europe, a time when classical music was popular. If classical music was all you had ever heard, would you be interested in jazz, or techno, or hip-hop? It would probably seem to wild and crazy,m and maybe even hurt your ears. We learn to adapt to what is new, often through a gradual process, not in giant leaps. If an idea is too advanced, too far ahead of its time, the public often won’t understand the use, or them may not believe that it’s really possible.
   
   Even if someone came out with an invention to teleport us tomorrow, would you really be willing to try it out so quickly? Maybe it would make sense if we progressed through decades from teleporting nano-particles, to molecules, to flies, to rodents. But to just all of a sudden have a mechanism for teleporting people safely seems unbelievable. when you get a great idea, ask yourself if the public is ready. Is this an idea they can relate to and understand? Ir is there a way you can convince them that your idea solves a problem they have.

Today’s Principle to Follow:
Principle #34: Don’t Overwhelm Your Natural Ability to Learn.
   If you cram too much information in your head all at once you will not learn well. If you stress yourself too much you also may not be at your best. True learning that is valuable and useful for a lifetime builds up gradually, not all at once. You need to have time to connect what you learn to other things. Cramming, or spending long nonstop sessions working or learning something is not optimal. Taking breaks is not lazy. Our minds need some time to breathe and relax.
   
   Remember, the brain is like a muscle. Weight trainers that exercise their muscles ever day train different muscles and they take breaks after training. They do not consistently exhaust the same muscle over and over. The brain should be treated similarly, rather than completely straining it. For example, Einstein was a notoriously hard worker, focusing intensely for great periods. But even he had a point where he needed a break to do something completely different. For him, that was often playing his violin.
