In everyone’s life, troubles and problems are inevitable, but solutions are often already found for most of the difficulties. Utilizing the solutions discovered by such predecessors is one way to solve problems.
Let’s call the wisdom and insights of these predecessors here “life hacks.” Making use of the wisdom of many predecessors as nourishment for one’s own growth is referred to as “standing on the shoulders of giants.”
In this short and singular life, let’s quickly climb onto the shoulders of giants with life hacks and efficiently tackle problems that already have solutions.
And in the history of humanity (perhaps a bit exaggerated?), let’s devote ourselves wholeheartedly to challenges that are unique to ourselves, challenges that only we can solve.
Below is a list of hints for standing on the shoulders of giants. I would be delighted if it proves helpful.
