From research to business #

Childhood #

When I was young and they asked me what do I want to be I said "I wanted to be an astronaut". Soon dreams fell short, when my cousin told me I was too tall to be one. As a small female child, having tall genes meant I was a head taller than all my classmates. After crying a bit, I thought about it and change my dream into being a scientist. "I will be the one who will send astronauts to space." This will be even cooler I thought since the astronauts are just the lab rats, the scientists are those that are making real decisions and discoveries.

I was a bit of a geeky kid growing up

• started as a phyisicist

Physics is a good framework for thinking. Boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there. ~ Elon Musk

• went into electronics to be a researcher in the area of robotics
• found out that research is more about writing papers
• went into buisness

Having a breadth of knowledge in different areas allows you to create connections between different areas that you wouldn't see if you would just focus on one area of expertise. ~ Robert Greene

• developed a growth mindset, you can learn anything, we are more similar than we think

Intelligence is elastic, if you put your mind into it you can learn anything
