I can learn to be a comedian.
I can do anything.
And it's true that our brain is made such that we can do anything.
Anyone who does anything for 10,000 hours will become quite an expert on it.
So you need to have a growth mindset, realizing that you could be better at anything.
Don't say I'm not good with names.
Please don't.
Just think about this.
What if I give you $10,000 for every name you memorize in a day?
How many names would you memorize?
A bunch.
I mean, people always say, I'm not good with memory.
They meet someone.
They tell themselves, I'm not good with memory.
10 minutes later, they don't know the name and it reinforces their concept, their understanding that they're not good with memory.
They say, see, I'm not good with memory.
I just forgot it.
So it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So realize your brain can be good at anything, including remembering names or learning anything new.
And so the third mindset is to have a purpose in life.
