Very off-topic, but recently there have been quite a few blogs from people who seem to have gotten burned out from cp/life in general, These are a couple of links to videos which I think might lift your mood. I'm not sure if this'll work as different people have different tastes, if you like my taste, I'll share more based on feedback.

    Hey only 600 people solved one problem, 60 solved other and 6 third

    Also questions did not have any good structure as well first question we were asked about the matrix and nobody could solve it? Has to be some mistake!

      I discuss with many people after the contest. Most interesting of which is, the problems I had in my set, no one could solve(or maybe solved, though few). I had the questions-

      • Counting palindromes(Some are telling, question is wrong). Also the sample test cases had wrong answers
      • Subnetting
      • Even odd
      • Moving average
      • Tennis score
      • String merge

Nice list! I'm a huge fan of Naval Ravikant — he's the modern day equivalent of Aristotle, with very practical advice.

I'd also suggest this: How I climbed a 3,000-foot vertical cliff -- without ropes

    Yeah, I find Naval very smart and authentic. When listening to other people's advice, i try to avoid confirmation bias as much as possible. A lot of what this guy says seems too good to be true, but then he backs it up with very reasonable arguments. Also thanks for the suggestion.

You can add watching naruto to the list. Whenever I hear naruto saying "I am gonna be hokage one day", "I will never give up, this is my ninja way!", it motivates me to a different level altogether:)

In order to Feel Special, we must ask meaningful questions such as What is Love. Although this blog may help some people, it is missing a key element. TWICE is the most effective way to Cheer Up someone. I recommend adding some links to TWICE content as it will help More and More members of this community find their motivation.
