Part 8/10:
A recurring theme is the importance of asking why—why undertake a project, learn a new skill, or invest in certain infrastructure. This clarifies motivations, helps prioritize initiatives, and ensures resources are allocated effectively.
Suppose an individual considers learning AI. Instead of doing so broadly, they should reflect on whether their goal is to increase earning potential, transition into a new industry, or solve specific problems. The most successful projects are those aligned with explicit, measurable goals—with clear benchmarks for success.
For instance, learning Cybersecurity may have a higher strategic value if the goal is to secure data centers and infrastructure that underpin AI operations, rather than just exploring the technology for its own sake.
