What I have learned from the unsuccessful Advanced AI course – a caring letter to myself

Getting involvedinto the studying atmosphere is important. Staying alone (in peace)will reduce your necessary anxiety level, and thus make you lesseager to commit yourself into the hard studying state. It's not aboutchallenging yourself and proving that you can overcome yourprocrastination by your own, but completely a waste of time. So, getout of your room, talk to your classmates, and try to figure out whatis going on and whatever is confusing you.

Failure is not adisaster. To make yourself a more “intelligent” agent, you shouldlearn something from it. Don't get frustrated in the bottom of thelearning curve, collect the pieces around,and march forward. Youshould be grateful for having so many brilliant people around you;from them, you can see how you can do better.

English skill isstill a bottom neck for me. I should continue practising at leastreading (long papers) and listening (TOEFL style).

Don't doubt your IQ;you are simply committing too little amount of time.

Always love you.
