Other lessons from Alex:
- Handle pressure
- Practice negative visualization
- If something bad will happen for 1,000 times, will feel the same way? If not, then feel the same feeling at 1,000 th time in the first time
- Expect the worst, so you won’t feel miserable on any possible outcome. Any good outcome is a bonus
- Everything will turn into a mist at the end. Nothing has meaning. Our brain is a meaning machine making. ” We suffer more in our imagination than in reality.”
