<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I dropped out from an undergraduate course in Computer Science (CS, for short).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While I was attending CS courses, however, I learnt how to detach myself, or abstract
myself, from technological tools, which, as a so-called digital native may
know, changes ever so frequently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I learnt that if I have a fundamental skill, or what
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~bleong/&quot;&gt;(one of)&lt;/a&gt;
my lecturer(s)
called first principles, I can solve a given problem, regardless of how
seemingly foreign the problem may be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Applying this concept in another context, it could be said that if I know
the fundamental skills in social dealings, then regardless of which country,
or culture, I find myself in, I can thrive (and not merely survive - but
thats a topic for another time, perhaps).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thats powerful. Thats empowering. (As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish,
and you feed him once. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a life-time.”)
And it gives one confidence. It
certainly gives me confidence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But of course I credit all these lessons and benefits, or perks, to
&lt;a href=&quot;http://phtan.github.io/religion.html&quot;&gt;my god&lt;/a&gt; and his kindness and goodness.&lt;/p&gt;
