Yesterday, spent much of the day with the CEO, Alex. Had a couple of meetings that we were in as well as a 1.5 hour lunch that we had along with a 2 hour war room to finish up the day. Got to share more of my ideas, approach, and goals of my life with him, as was he. I think our relationship is only just really growing now. Can't wait to see what it would be like as this company grows collectively and as we grow individually.
Then went to Tai Chi class immediately afterwards. Sifu and the rest of the students did the entire form, in which I'm just at the beginning steps of Part 2. It was so mesmerizing to see his grace, balance, intention, and power with each step and movement. The goal is to get to that level at least one day. I know I can, it'll just take a lot of focused practice.
I honestly think I can do anything. Sometimes I have to temper my expectations in the moment when the activity or task would be too physically or mentally demanding. But as I've noticed my learned curve in various subjects throughout my life, 2 main curves have emerged. One is a logarithmic graph. The other is a transformation of a cubic function that's been reflected along the y-axis and then rotated 90 degrees. The graphs have axes of time on the x-axis and activity / skill level on the y-axis. The log graph (see pic) indicates that I'm a quick learner about something that I've recently been exposed to. I get into it, immerse myself in it, no-life it for a bit to fully understand everything. An example is Notion. I was introduced to it in November and 2 weeks later I had created my own entire Life Operating System. After a bit though it does plateau, which is completely natural within the scope of that area. Then is the transformed cubic (see pic). I experience this sort of learning curve when I've known about something for a long time I that I should do or want to do or have some exposure to. But I just don't do it for whatever reason. However, when I do find the time / motivation for it, I'll go hard for a period of time before being relatively dormant on it. An example is my education bold idea. I had been thinking and mulling over it for a bit before there was a light bulb that clicked on to mobilize myself. Then I went hard for a bit and then now it's just on in the back of my mind making incremental progress but nothing huge yet. It's just waiting for that next big catalyst to expedite the spike of the learning curve. The thing is many things in my life fall into this model. Learning is not linear. After all, it's a learning curve, not a learning line. And with skills / activities / hobbies that I've done since a younger age, the longer this curve extends in the x-axis direction and with more spikes and rests throughout. E.g. harmonium, tennis, geography. Now when I get more and more of these interests and experiences, the overall growth curve of my human development transcends both of these curves, and it becomes an exponential curve. I'm able to build compound interest by compounding interests. So that when I have that diversity of experience, especially earlier in childhood, the catalyst to go from that dormancy to the spike needs less activation energy. The spike can be a larger increase and / or be sustained for longer if that's the case. So learning is really a series of these S-curves that when stacked across a diverse set of experiences creates an exponential personal growth curve.
