In this brief motivational talk, the speaker recounts a habit his grandmother had of asking children, “What do you know today that you didn’t know yesterday?” He frames this question as a daily reflective practice that drives personal growth, emphasizing that expanding knowledge in one’s mind is more valuable than any external artifact. The speaker also notes that modern tools lower the friction of creating new artifacts, allowing faster exploration of new domains. He concludes by urging listeners to end each day by asking themselves what new knowledge they have gained since the day began.

What do you know? This is like quite grandmother's question to us kids. Whenever she would see us, she would come into the room, would give a hug, and she would say, what do you know? What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday? What is true today that wasn't true yesterday? That question of what do you know pushes you to have growth in your head that is going to be far more important really than any artifact you create. The opportunity of using these tools is that you get to grow much faster because of the reduced friction in the turn of that wheel, as we all create new artifacts and, and get to explore new domains. So at the end of each day, ask yourself, what do you know that you didn't know at the beginning?
