• 3-Minute Explanation, Hungry Lions And Lamb Puzzle - Game Theory
• Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, 1989. 
• Habit 2: "Begin with the end in mind."
• 與成功有約：以終為始 → 釐清人生定位
• Begin with the end in mind: Dynamic programming. The algorithm is the foundation of reinforcement learning. When it combines with neural network as an approximation function, it is deep reinforcement learning. The Turing Award goes to 2 researchers in reinforcement learning this year!
• The company used machine learning models, e.g., ARIMA and random forest, to predict the sales. My lab is trying to use new methodologies to improve their prediction accuracy, e.g., Ensemble Modeling.
