As Martin Thompson put it, time is the most important factor in performance tuning. Some /endeavors/ need time. Like a plant, they can’t be rushed. I have a tendency to rush on several endeavors:

1. give yourself time to experience yoga — Find (or design) your own practice. Could be totally different from other people’s practice.
2. give yourself time to understand your own kids — Tough, long process. Non-trivial.
3. give yourself time to learn cooking — calorie restriction, starch reduction, more vegie .. Find your own way.
4. Give yourself time to understand the quant and machine-learning space — find your position and attitude
