A. 5 Ways to Build and Improve Mental Toughness
B. 5 Exercises to create an ‘armored mind’
Let's get into it:
Our emotions play a big role in how we act or react to negative situations.
It’s therefore important internally to understand and acknowledge your feelings, and how they affect our decisions.
Your dominant thought often dictates the end result!
The ability to:
- develop new goals
- develop actionable steps to achieve those goals
- and to execute on those goals
Help to develop willpower and mental resilience.
Simple wins in life make us feel good and through feeling better we become mentally stronger.
Set yourself small targets that you can easily tick off,
The goal here is to set yourself up for success, not failure.
You feel mentally stronger if you are happy.
The fear of disappointing others may hold you back,
So you need to avoid making compromises to please others at the expense of following your dream.
Energy is powerful, so focus on what makes you productive.
Dwelling on your past failure or success may deter you from achieving your goals.
Whether you have had a good or bad past, you need to put it behind you and focus on your new target.
Note: These challenges are inspired from the book "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins.
I have sorted them from the easiest to hardest: 👇
Create Your Identity with the Accountability Mirror.
What is it?
The Accountability Mirror method is when you put post-it notes with your goals on your mirror so you see them every morning.
👉 Write this out and don't use a digital device for this practice.
This practice is all about self-improvement and self-discipline.
It’s about being honest with yourself and checking in with yourself and your goals every day.
You will hold yourself accountable to the standard you want for your life.
Write Down the Things that Make You Uncomfortable.
The idea here is to come face to face with your fears.
I'm not talking about staring down the barrel of a gun
I'm talking about the things you know could be good for you if you were willing to try them.
Doing things - even small things - that make you uncomfortable will help you get strong.
When you get strong, mentally and physically it’s hard for people to get under your skin.
You become resilient.
Break Your Goal Down into Small Tasks:
Simply break your big goals (sometimes called the BHAG or big hairy audacious goal) into smaller, more attainable goals.
Breaking your goal into small tasks helps you feel satisfied when you complete them,
It helps you build a system for daily success and helps you build momentum.
Visualize Your Goal:
The average person thinks 2000-3000 thoughts per hour.
Rather than focusing on bullshit, you cannot change, imagine visualizing the things you can.
A visualization is a powerful tool for turning your ideas into reality.
Visualizing helps to activate your subconscious mind and programs your brain to achieve your goals.
Taking Souls.
What is it?
Choose any competitive situation you’re in right now and do whatever it takes to be EXCELLENT.
The idea is to dominate by working harder than anyone could ever expect of you.
This forces you to push yourself harder than ever before for your personal glory of knowing you’ve achieved excellence.
This is an advanced tactic for those of you willing to push yourself to the brink.
Building mental strength is fundamental to living your best life.
In order to be mentally healthy, we must build up our mental strength!
It is something that is developed over time by individuals who choose to make personal development a priority.

How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?
Introducing Voltron: Language-Driven Representation Learning for Robotics!
Paper: https://t.co/gIsRPtSjKz
Models: https://t.co/NOB3cpATYG
Evaluation: https://t.co/aOzQu95J8z
🧵👇(1 / 12)
Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.
Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)
The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (https://t.co/Pb0mk9hb4i) and R3M (https://t.co/o2Fkc3fP0e).
The secret is *balance* (3/12)
Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:
1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.
2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)
By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.
Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇
It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
I've read it so you needn't!
Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.
The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.
Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
