Appearances
Yeah.
voice-verified
Like I think about it with books.
voice-verified
Like, um, do I need, would I like it to be a bestseller?
voice-verified
Sure.
voice-verified
Would I like it to earn back its advance?
voice-verified
I mean, definitely that would be good.
voice-verified
Um, but but if that's what I need for it to happen for me to feel good about it.
voice-verified
I've now decided that you, the audience, or you the publisher, or you the book critic, you get to decide how this works or not, and that's not a great place to be.
voice-verified
But again, easier easier said than done.
voice-verified
Starting by understanding that a bunch of that it's unpredictable.
voice-verified
Well that that you control your own destiny.
voice-verified
Yes.
voice-verified
And and that if you do all these things, um you will get what you want, you know.
voice-verified
Not even more often than not, but the vast majority of the time.
voice-verified
That's right.
voice-verified
And yeah, I think in the ancient world
voice-verified
It w it was like you could do everything right and get exiled and get murdered or die of a cut on your finger or whatever.
voice-verified
And and so there is a uh a humility to that that I think is missing.
voice-verified
And it also by not having the humility, first off, it deprives you of being able to be pleasantly surprised.
voice-verified
Yeah.
