So after living in NY for 2 weeks, I got a chance to start my transformation. The first thing I wanted to do was to train my mind in a completely different way. Sure, I may have practiced the dark arts of staying up late and sleeping 3-4 hours on average for the last 2 years, but I still feel that I am weak in some parts of the mind. What part(s) of the mind am I weak in? I'm not quite sure, but I have a hunch... Now I need to go back to the basics and train...
Luckily for me, my roommates Alex Wu and Jimmy Tang have been getting me to work out quite a lot. We go to the gym 5 days in a week, and we do a bunch of different exercises. Interesting enough, working out and training the brain kind of goes hand and hand. It trains you how to be patient, be confident and better yet, to push for that last set even when your mind tells you that it's impossible. It's basically like the last crusade except slightly different...
That said, my favorite quote for the last two weeks is: "Confidence is just like your muscle. If you don't practice (work out) your confidence, it will wither away. Train you muscles. Train your confidence." Now, you can easily apply this to life... Basically, go for what you want. Don't ever be shy because you may never have the opportunities again. I know it's hard, but if you want to reach your maximum potential, just go for it. It is definitely easier said than done, so I'll try to listen to my own advice... Meanwhile, it may not be a bad idea for you to try it out yourself...
