Not sure if 5. was deliberately missing but I'll give a crack at filling it in: Find a mentor

The tips are great but I think it misses a key point (which could be deduced from the other points). _Learn how to learn_. By improving the way we can learn, we are sure to have a easier time in the future.

For me this means a couple of things:

  - Knowing how to look for stuff, for example, what should I google to figure out something
  
  - Knowing what to commit to memory, and what can be kept as just a thought so I can figure it out again quickly if I ever need to. If you try to remember every single thing you are gonna have a hard time
