A lot of good pieces of advice (especially on problem-solving, timescale, and moving on).
However, some points are IMHO superfluous, for example:
> Not all topics are equally important. Focus on the important parts.
These statements are correct and general, and most people would agree with (even having no idea the topic), but are rarely actionable (or even: make sense for a newcomer). Vide most of the motivational quotations.
In short: hard to disagree. But how the heck a newcomer knows what is important and what is not?
