Agree with your point. I also want to mention that knowing how to adjust yourself when you hit the wall is important. Because "gifted" people always has his/her limit and is doomed to be failed at some time, he/she may not know how to handle this failure. One may drive himself/herself to a dead corner, don't know this is a normal thing and don't know how to get out. Early failure should be considered as a good method.

astkaasa··on EU to Ban RT and Sputnik
I think it's an advantage that you can read both English and Russian sources. And it's such a lazy idea to pursue some [unbiased] [good] source. Be an adult and try understand the world by yourself. And because it's such a difficult and tiring process, sometimes it would be better just return to your normal life and all these things (social network / news / forum discussions) are not that relevant to your life actually. They do not deserve your attention. They are just something like gaming.

I'm facing the same situation that I can read both English and Chinese sources. So I'm writing these words to myself at the same time.
