Dear friends,

We here at deeplearning.ai wish you a wonderful holiday season.

As you consider your New Year’s resolutions and set goals for 2020, consider not just what you want to do, but what you want to learn:

What courses do you want to take this year?
What books do you want to read?
How many papers do you want to read?
What meetups or conferences do you want to attend?

I find that people who write down their learning goals are more likely to accomplish them. I do so regularly myself.

Making a list will help set you up for a productive new year. But for now, I hope you are able to rest, reflect with gratitude on things that happened in 2019, and spend time with loved ones.

Keep learning!

Andrew
