There's that metaphor that life is a game.
So you have to find out what the rules are.
Then you have to take your strengths and weaknesses into account: I'm a mere mortal primate born in a weird party country in a universe made of a snowball of math.
Then you learn the shortcuts and how to play: one should beat death, finiteness, boredom and sadness, and/or help others do the same, while financially surviving, one must glimpse into the unthinkable and make the awesome real.
You now have goals then you seek instrumental goals that can aid you: moving to Berkeley.
Obstacles come your way. Dodge them, learn them, beat them.
And then you Win!
So this month I felt I Won the game of life.
... for the second time.
May many more times come!
Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to comment on this thread explaining the most awesome thing you've done this month. You may be as blatantly proud of yourself as you feel. You may unabashedly consider yourself the coolest freaking person ever because of that awesome thing you're dying to tell everyone about. This is the place to do just that.
Remember, however, that this isn't any kind of progress thread. Nor is it any kind of proposal thread. This thread is solely for people to talk about the awesome things they have done. Not "will do". Not "are working on". Have already done. This is to cultivate an environment of object level productivity rather than meta-productivity methods.
So, what's the coolest thing you've done this month?
