🚀 Why you should write!
Words are the atomic unit of the internet.
You can improve your thinking and create tons of opportunities for yourself if you just start to write. In any field, the most successful people double as writers. Chefs write recipes, comedians write jokes, and entrepreneurs write business plans. The examples are endless.
The writing guy, David Perell explains why writing is such a big deal.
🛠️ Tools recommendation: Evernote
One of the most important things you can do as a student is to keep yourself organized.
When you're studying for exams, researching papers, or preparing for finals, it's almost certain that you have a huge amount of information to keep track of.
That's where Evernote comes in, it’s a note-taking app that helps you keep track of all those notes and details so you don't have to!
Evernote lets you save everything in one place—whether that's text documents, images, or files from your computer—and then syncs everything across all your devices, which means that when your computer dies at the last minute and you find yourself with only your phone to work on that paper, it'll still be there.
Evernote has a mobile app, desktop app, and works in the computer browser as well.
📘 Book recommendation: Rich Dad Poor Dad
The book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is written by Robert Kiyosaki. The book talks about the importance of financial education and how to become rich by starting a business. The author narrates his story where he learned everything about money from two fathers — his real father and his friend's father.
His real dad was a college-educated man with three degrees, but he was poor. His friend's father was a high school dropout without any college degrees, but he was rich.
His real dad always taught him to get good grades, go to college, get a good job and save money. However, he learned from his rich dad that this is not the path to follow if you want to become rich. He learned many valuable lessons from his rich dad, who taught him about accounting, investing, and business.
It’s an interesting read overall and highly recommended for students like you.
🎬 Movie recommendation: 3 idiots
3 Idiots is a movie about 3 friends in college who are trying to live up to the expectations of their family and friends. They want to do well but are also trying to fulfill their dreams. Over the course of the movie, they learn that it is more important to be happy than to be successful.
Most probably, you have already watched this movie but if you haven’t, do watch it.
