I grew up in a small remote village in the early 90s without even power. It was really hard to get fuel for a couple of hours a day merely — I am pretty sure the situation did not change much.
I used to be really skinny (6’3 tall). I remember when I moved to Canada, I was merely 56kg(around 120 lbs). I was so thin and shy that I developed anxiety at an early age, which I overcame with time.
Most of the people in my village were farmers. Farming was a hard job that demanded physical strength. Being skinny and super tall, I was always reluctant to do hard jobs.
In a nutshell, I did not have enough strength to lift stuff and did not want to make fun of myself in front of people.
However, I learned this genius habit of sticking to books. I started to read a lot.
Therefore, I became really good in my studies, and my parents thought, okay, if he is good at school and the worst at farming, maybe he should go to high school, which was in another village.
Anyway, long story short, I developed my learning habits at a very young age and am always keen to share if there are more ways to accelerate.
I am a firm believer that continuous learning is the only way to advance in life.
I love to read books on my favorite Kindle. However, being a technologically optimistic guy, I also developed this habit of consuming healthy stuff in the digital world.
