Doing well in your courses: Andrej's advice for success (2013)

Chalk it up to youth perhaps, but this piece would benefit, in my view, from more "for me..." or "I found..." and less "You should/must/are..."

I have reached a point in my life in which I recognize that I do not generally appreciate direct advice, especially not the unsolicited variety. Even the bits that I agree with in this piece are tainted by the many cases where I did the exact opposite of what he advises and excelled academically.

> Having been tested for many years of my life (with pretty good results), here are some rules of thumb that I feel helped me

Oh, come now, I think Karpathy adequately qualifies his advice. :-)
