Maybe that's a better time to go find friends and work on dexterity and skills and get some sunlight.

He did, yeah.

No, it really is.

And I love that.

That's what I mentioned about sort of our grandfathers, the wisdom that people knew from a long time ago.

He had an intuition about how we follow into habits.

He would find out that as I walk, I make paths.

And as you just see, I keep doing the same way.

And he would look at that and kind of intuited that that's a habit that I'm forming.

It may be helpful, but maybe I should try to take a different way the next day.

Talked about the idea that consistency is overrated.

He had this line from the American Scholar.

Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, that you feel like whatever I said, I have to keep saying it, keep being right.

And the real world will teach you, no, if you're wrong, the world will teach you.

If you think you're right about something, all your friends will teach you you're not.

If you think this is the best way to kick the ball, you'll find that someone else has a different way of doing it or play the instrument or whatever it is.

So I think that idea that there's some humility about there is no optimal, there's no perfect way, there's always some new way of learning is something that

I appreciate it in reading books, and it's awkward that here's someone writing a book telling you not to listen to people in books.

Go out and live the real world.

And I think a lot of us are coming around to that, that we need to have our own real experiences.
