Happy Friday !

Hope your week was awesome and got an awsomer weekend planned ahead!

Here's some quick things:

NEW BOOK:

Zero To One by Peter Thiel. He's a legendary figure in Silicon Valley and essentially takes you through the thought process or building and creating an idea. Highly recommended for everyone!

WHY I READ:

It's all about the connections you make! It's not about gaining one idea from a book and implementing it. It's about your ability to expand your mind, extrapolate, and make connection inwards and outwards. You'll eventually get to a point where whatever you're read, you're figuring out how it relates to the rest of the world.

PREMED CORNER:

Words of the day: Reverse Engineer

As a premed student it's important to learn this concept early because you'll need to do it for the rest of your life. Whether it's figuring out your applications or taking the MCAT, you must work backwards.

Figure out the final date --> figure out the absolutely necessities to get you there --> figure out what resources will help you learn those necessities --> figure how to get those necessities --> figure out your starting point.

I'll keep this one short :) Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day. Take some time to get fresh air, meditate, reflect on your journey, understand who you are at your core.

Love,

Darsh
