love programming there was something

love programming there was something about making a program even if I would

about making a program even if I would

about making a program even if I would fail most of the time that would always

fail most of the time that would always

fail most of the time that would always make me happy I could go on into the

make me happy I could go on into the

so for contacts and AI is nothing more

so for contacts and AI is nothing more than a bunch of code that is able to do

than a bunch of code that is able to do a ridiculously high amount of trial and

a ridiculously high amount of trial and

a ridiculously high amount of trial and error to come up with a solution just

well as it turns out searching for the

well as it turns out searching for the answer of this question led me to a

answer of this question led me to a

answer of this question led me to a stark realization I thought if we can

stark realization I thought if we can

stark realization I thought if we can create a technology that can learn by

create a technology that can learn by

create a technology that can learn by repeated failing then why can we find

repeated failing then why can we find

repeated failing then why can we find the solutions to our problems by

the solutions to our problems by

the solutions to our problems by mimicking the same tag I mean we can’t

mimicking the same tag I mean we can’t

mimicking the same tag I mean we can’t just force our brains to overcome our

just force our brains to overcome our

just force our brains to overcome our fears or do some tasks

fears or do some tasks

fears or do some tasks it’s the experiences that make us who we

it’s the experiences that make us who we

it’s the experiences that make us who we are is the feeling we get when we

are is the feeling we get when we

are is the feeling we get when we finally achieve something well that was

finally achieve something well that was

finally achieve something well that was a theory I came up with but it wouldn’t

a theory I came up with but it wouldn’t

a theory I came up with but it wouldn’t be so good if I couldn’t prove it to you

be so good if I couldn’t prove it to you

be so good if I couldn’t prove it to you now would it

now would it

now would it and so I started looking around Jaipur

and so I started looking around Jaipur

and so I started looking around Jaipur for something new something that scared

for something new something that scared

for something new something that scared me

me

me well there was no skydiving no bungee

well there was no skydiving no bungee

well there was no skydiving no bungee jumping

jumping

jumping survival vision missions were obviously

survival vision missions were obviously

survival vision missions were obviously a no but with the help of a few people

a no but with the help of a few people

a no but with the help of a few people around me I managed to get something

around me I managed to get something

around me I managed to get something known as a reverse bungee now without

known as a reverse bungee now without

known as a reverse bungee now without going into much detail about what it is

going into much detail about what it is

going into much detail about what it is I think I’ll just show you what happened

yeah yeah that’s me was this scared

yeah yeah that’s me was this scared doing it obviously but did I survive it

doing it obviously but did I survive it

doing it obviously but did I survive it well I’m giving this talk on time it was

well I’m giving this talk on time it was

well I’m giving this talk on time it was my first time and my code worked I

my first time and my code worked I

my first time and my code worked I tasted success and I programmed my brain

tasted success and I programmed my brain

tasted success and I programmed my brain to it repeated and then I become

to it repeated and then I become

to it repeated and then I become successful don’t get me wrong I still am

successful don’t get me wrong I still am

successful don’t get me wrong I still am afraid of heights but now I know how to

afraid of heights but now I know how to

afraid of heights but now I know how to face it and so ladies and gentlemen I’d

face it and so ladies and gentlemen I’d

face it and so ladies and gentlemen I’d like to present you my code for success

like to present you my code for success

like to present you my code for success success is equal to the number of

success is equal to the number of

success is equal to the number of attempts divided by the number of

attempts divided by the number of

attempts divided by the number of failures plus the number of attempts and

failures plus the number of attempts and

failures plus the number of attempts and the number of successes that’s a

the number of successes that’s a

the number of successes that’s a mouthful isn’t it so in simpler terms no

mouthful isn’t it so in simpler terms no

mouthful isn’t it so in simpler terms no pain no gain thank you everyone for a
