The power of compounding which comes from discipline is one of the most underrated concepts. There's one caveat to "keep at it for x years"; deliberate practice. You have to work towards being aware of gaps, identifying them and improving them. In addition, the amount of effort required to go from 0-40 is different from the one required to go from 50-70 or 80-95. The recognition and acceptance that a 100m sprint is different for Usain Bolt than it is for you could give you inner peace and focus.

Learn linear algebra properly and this will ring true. If you know the math, it's trivial to pick up control, computer vision, back propagation, optimization, I'm sure many others.

  More like linear algebra, real analysis, and probability for the areas you listed.

    Statistics for sure. But i don't really find myself using analysis on a day to day basis

      Gradients and convex analysis pop up in optimization. My understanding is controls uses analysis as well (at least for understanding theory).
