Working on Leetcode algorithm, Julia took so many breaks when she worked on 5 Leetcode questions on Feb. 6 evening, she found out that she needs to build up mental toughness on the problem solving - using algorithm/ data structure. She wonders why she needs to read something not meaningful while solving those problems, why the algorithm cannot be nature in her life.
So, she turns to advice from her favorite politician, Mitt Romney's top 10 rules for success, a Havard graduate's advice this Sunday.
