Why did the math teacher and the sex therapist become friends? They both knew the importance of finding the right angle.

What do math and sex have in common? They both require you to carry the one.

Why did the mathematician break up with their partner? They kept arguing about the difference between "significant figures" and "figures of significance."

Why are math problems and sexual experiences similar? Both might require a little lubrication – one for the brain, the other for… well, you know.

What did the math book say to the Kama Sutra? "I see we both appreciate a good position."

Why are math and sex like parallel lines? They both have a lot in common, but they never quite seem to meet.

What do math and sex have in common? The more you practice, the better you get at multiplying.

How are calculus and sex similar? You can't appreciate either if you don't understand the underlying functions.

rational mind has no compass and direction and stability, it completely depends on emotional states which is static. Manage decisions, not promises. Decide on your emotions before doing something.

Flow of Systems

If you fail five times, sixth time you will be better.JUST DO NOT STOP!!!

We overestimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can do in a week, month, year and decades!

The small wins are exponentially more important than big wins.Big wins are almost ridiculous and meaningless, give back no happiness or pleasure to the souls.small goals are systems.big goals are directions.

Small goals are real, focus!

Start your day with the difficult task, then go easy, at end of the day, you don't have the energy to do tough work and you feel guilty for not doing a difficult task if it was important.

Warm up, tackle the lion!

You only get better each day because the world, and you directly invest energy over time daily on yourself, You cannot do worse, treasure yourself, love yourself, do amazing things, help many-many people.

You have the power!

With great work ethic, one must maintain great rejuvenation technique. Meditation is the greatest form of entertainment because it gives complete relaxation to the mind.Think of the work to do as a physical load on yourself, can you juggle two different things if you have never done it before, it takes time, learn it, grow, acclimatize.Let the load get absorbed in your soul that its indistinguishable.

Reduce cognitive load to one and meditate as entertainment.

I am slowed down by easy avoidable mistakes done mostly by myself, not some large unsurmountable thing. Rectify yourself on small things, and you will rock the world!

Small mistakes are what slows us down.

Easy. Recognize your skills inherent or learned.Challenge. Only take up a job you can win by iteration, not fail as a result, failure is initial feedback with success as an end result of iteration over failures.Hard. This is what you want to do in future, what you find interesting or beneficial, your goal, that has to be done strategically over time. Break down the task into years, months, weeks, days, hours. Big goal, more patience.

for the love of learning

We do not learn by reading or memorizing more or only practice, we learn when we do both.99% practice + 1% theory 99% failure + 1% success99% perspiration + 1% inspiration

I will be collecting artful code on python here, it's in a nascent stage but hope it becomes awesome with time

My Python code collection!

Example:<ul><li>Given numbers=[ 3 , 4 , 6 ,7 ] , target = 7,</li><li>Because num[0]+num[1] = 3 + 4 = 7,</li><li>return[0,1]</li></ul>You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution and you are not going to use same element twice.

Two sum - Leetcode 1

For each element that we iterate through in nums, we store their complements as keys in the hash map with their values being in the current index.Note that we’re only storing these key-value pairs if the current element is not a present key in our hash map.If the current element exists as a key, then we can return an array with the current index and its corresponding value in the hash map since this element was inserted in a previous iteration.

Answer:

Example:Input: prices = [7,1,5,3,6,4]Output: 5Explanation: Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6-1 = 5.Note that buying on day 2 and selling on day 1 is not allowed because you must buy before you sell.

Sliding Window: Best Time to Buy and Sell Stock - Leetcode 121

By initializing variables ‘l’ (left pointer) and ‘res’ with 0, and a right pointer iterating through the array, if the value at the right pointer is less than the value at the left pointer, we will move the left pointer to where the right pointer is. And store the current profit value in a variable ‘curr’. Get the maximum of ‘res’ and ‘curr’ in the ‘res’ variable. And then return it.

Given an integer array nums, return true if any value appears at least twice in the array, and return false if every element is distinct.Example 1:Input: nums = [1,2,3,1]Output: trueExample 2:Input: nums = [1,2,3,4]Output: falseExample 3:Input: nums = [1,1,1,3,3,4,3,2,4,2]Output: trueConstraints:1 <= nums.length <= 105-109 <= nums[i] <= 109

Contains Duplicate - Leetcode 217

Firstly, declare the hashset variable as a set, then start looping through the array. Then for every element in the array check if that value is already in the hashset, and if it is, return true. If it is false, then add that new value to the hashset. If there is no value returned by the end of the loop, return false because there must not be a value that appears twice in the array.

The problem:Given an integer array nums, return an array answer such that answer[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i].The constraints:<ul><li>The product of any prefix or suffix of nums is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.</li><li>You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time</li><li>Cannot use the division operation.</li></ul>Example 1:Input: nums = [1,2,3,4]Output: [24,12,8,6]Example 2:Input: nums = [-1,1,0,-3,3]Output: [0,0,9,0,0]

Product of Array Except Self - Leetcode 238

i am understanding it, cannot explain right now.

The problem:Given an integer array nums, find the contiguous subarray (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum and return its sum.Note: A subarray is a contiguous part of an array.The constraints:1 &lt;= nums.length &lt;= 105-104 &lt;= nums[i] &lt;= 104Example 1:Input: nums = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4]Output: 6Explanation: [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.Example 2:Input: nums = [1]Output: 1Example 3:Input: nums = [5,4,-1,7,8]Output: 23

Maximum Subarray - Leetcode 53

Planning is old.Strategy is new.Strategy and planning is not the same.People plan and do a lot of work but without a strategy they fail.

Most strategic planning has nothing to do with strategy.

An integrative set of choices that position you on a playing field of your choice in a way that you win.Strategy has a theory not a proof.A strategic theory must be coherent and doable.Planning has no coherence to it. Its a list of what departments want with no internal coherence and company goal as a collective.

So what is a strategy?

Plans are quite comforting, It's about the resources you are going to spend. It's on the cost side of businesses.Who controls your cost? You control the cost, You are the customer! It's comfortable because you control them.

Why do leaders so often focus on planning?

The tricky thing about planning is that while you're planning, chances are at least one competitor is figuring out how to win.

A strategy specifies an outcome you wish to achieve, like attracting customers to buy your product, enough of it to give you a profit.But you don't control the customers. They decide, not you and that's a harder trick to allure them.This is where you put yourself out and say what you belive will happen and wait for reality to kick in.

Startegy will have angst associated with it. It'll make you somewhat nervous.You can't prove in advance that your strategy will succeed.Accept the fact that you can't know for sure.Lay out the logic of your strategy clearly. Keep it short - ideally 1 page, do not complicate.

How do I avoid the "planning trap"? 

What would have to be true about ourselves, about industry, about competition, about customers for this strategy to work?Why do you do that? It's because you can then watch the world unfold.

And if something you say is in the logic that would have to be true for it to work is not working out quite the way you hoped.Then tweak it, what you want is a mechanism of tweaking it, toning it, and refining it so it gets better and better as you go along.

Strategy is a journey.

<ol><li>here's where we're choosing to play.</li><li>here's how we're choosing to win.</li><li>here the capabilities we need to have in place.</li><li>here are the management systems.</li></ol>And that's why it's going to achieve its goals, this aspiration that we have.Then you lay out the logic, what must be true for that all to work out the way we hope.Go do it, and watch and tweak as you go along.

I have been in the rut of planning after winning with strategy earlier, it takes real mental clarity, It's a wonderul resource. Thank you!

At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management. If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. We try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work.
