(1995-present) Autodidactism
• Out of pure curiosity and magnetism for learning, I studied a lot of subjects outside my academic
curriculum. My learning path taught me how to correlate everything I know in my problem-solving
pursuits, but most importantly, I have learnt that “it is better to know how to learn than to know”.
• To maintain the balance between my intellect and my physical abilities, I have asked others to
teach me some real-life skills. Therefore I also learnt how to: lead, follow, collaborate, act alone,
innovate, adapt, fight, defend, climb, dive, fish, cook, build a house from foundation to delivery,
fix cars, fix gadgets, balance accounts, sail a boat (with & without an engine), survive outdoor.
• The most important thing I learnt from experience: failure. And from others: how to inspire others.
