It's about finding ways to look at failure completely differently, to see it as opportunities where we can find our greatest insights and opportunities for growth. And to me, one of the key things in all the failures that I've ever encountered is that is just huge, it's so big, is what you were saying before, like we have these expectations.

Even the first time we try things, we expect we're gonna miraculously succeed in everything we do, right? Like that's our expectation, then we go in with that. And what I've realized is that if we reframe failure, like we learn in school, failures over here, successes over here, avoid failure, maximize success. I see it as a prerequisite to success.

I see failure as an opportunity to be creative, as an opportunity to explore other possibilities you didn't think of before. I see failure now as a way to learn. And that's the shift, right? So I'll give you an example where I think this will become really clear. The first talk that I was invited to give on Lit was at Stanford, right? Many months ago. I'd never spoken about it.

I put all these slides together. I was super nervous. And I didn't even know how to talk about the book. I'd been writing it. I hadn't been communicating it. And I get there and I said to myself, you know what, Jeff? you're going to give it your best, but this is Gen 1.0. I said, focus on doing your best, but also tapping into the cues that you get from people as you're speaking.

What are the insights so you can move to Gen 2.0 and 2.0 is going to be better than 1.0. So I was able to shift away from the expectation of giving a spectacular talk to to focusing on the learnings, the insights I could gain to make the talk better. Because I was like, there's probably going to be a generation 5.0, a 10.0, a 20.0, whatever it is.

And that shift is basically focusing on away from success and moving that to learning, to gaining an insight. So you're focusing on the evolution. And that's changed everything for me.

Yeah, Rudy Tanzi is a neuroscientist who spoke about some elements of what you just said in the book. And he said that before he goes to give a talk, he says to himself, I am here to serve. And it's more like he's here for a performance. He's here to share. He's here to give what he has, his gifts, his work. And to me, again, it's just...
