I learned the following three points from this book.</p> <h4 id="all-tasks-can-be-divided-into-3-groups">All Tasks Can Be Divided into 3 Groups</h4> <ul> <li> <p>simple ones:</p> <p>Simple problems are ones like baking a cake from a mix. There is a recipe. Sometimes there are a few basic techniques to learn. But once these are mastered, following the recipe brings a high likelihood of success.</p> </li> <li> <p>complicated ones:</p> <p>Ones like launcing a rocket. They can sometimes be broken down into a series of simple problems. Once you learn how to send a rocket to the moon, you can repeat the process with other rockets and perfect it.</p>
