Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it is just my notes after all. I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my "Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under version control already.

- a difficult problem is to [[id:01459b18-3f30-418e-bd8d-42661d5ea223][Start with wishful thinking]]
|
|
- when starting to learn, diving into problems are often seen as a bad thing
|
|
- it is essentially like trying to learn to swim on an ocean + it could be effective if we have a lifeguard
|
|
- this sink-or-swim mentality can be great if we're to make a difficult problem as our model for progress
|
|
- for example, if you're trying to learn 3D modelling by recreating a massive landscape, you can start with it as an initial exercise
|
|
- at first try, it will fail but you can retry maybe next month to see how well you improve
|
|
- a difficult problem can give us a clear indication of our progress
|
|
- contrast this to learning by starting with the simplest possible example
|
|
- in some capacity, we already have been doing this since we have an idea of what we want to do
|
|
+ a lot of our inspirations tend to be people with advanced levels
|
