To change education for the better, what’s needed is a mindset shift away from emphasizing material and toward the process of learning, empowering students not just with knowledge of maths, economics or physics, but with the skill of learning how to learn and an understanding of how they learn best. Read on for how learning how to learn transformed my life and how it can do the same for you…

This is the story of my journey from Pietermaritzburg, South Africa to Princeton, USA and my education as a global citizen.

Does this struggle sound familiar to you?

I sit down at my desk and resolve to focus on writing. Despite having my research and notes handy, I still can’t quite make everything click. I force sentences and re-arrange paragraphs in the hopes of creating better flow and structure. I’m left feeling unsatisfied, but I soldier on in the hopes of a breakthrough. Maybe if I keep working on it, then it’ll click...

The struggle isn’t unique to writing essays, it also happens when I write code. Rather than messy structure and sentences that don't flow, the struggle takes the form of seemingly inexplicable bugs and weird behaviour in my programs.

After many years of frustration, I’ve found a practice that consistently helps me overcome the struggle by generating an “AHA” moment: a moment where everything clicks and I find a breakthrough to the problem I was wrestling with.

That moment happens when I take a shower.

Time is the most important resource we have in life. It’s the one thing we can’t make more of. Yet few of us are satisfied with how we spend our time.

I took the leap to start a company as my first ‘real job’ straight out of college. As a person of color and an international student in the US, navigating the world of startups was exciting, scary and, at times, exhausting.

However, I’m grateful for this experience because it equipped me with the most important tool to succeed in business and in my career: The Founder Mentality.

Self-awareness can be loosely defined as recognition and awareness of your strengths, interests, passions and skills, and how they change over time. It’s also recognizing and accepting your weaknesses and shortcomings. It’s knowing who you actually are, what you’re good at and being at peace with it.

In an age where the internet enables even niche obsessions to thrive, I believe self-awareness is key for budding entrepreneurs and creatives to create wealth and win.

There’s a mental health epidemic going on in the world today: So many of us don’t feel good about being ourselves on a day to day basis.

At the root of it is self-worth. Self-worth, or self-esteem, is the value you place on yourself as a person.

It’s said that you’re better off reading the hundred or so greatest books of all time, over and over again, rather than reading every new book that’s published, or trying to read as many books as you can.
