No, and it's like, what comes really easy and where do you have that kind of effortless momentum and enthusiasm?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And that is kind of the sweet spot.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I think that I'm also really happy that I spent time trying out so many different jobs.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

I mean, I've had so many different jobs before I did it, and I would do things for a year and then I'd quit.

and it feels like I tried on a bunch of different pants.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And you're like, okay, I can kind of wear this, but they're not super comfortable, or I don't love the look of them, or whatever.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And then I realized like, or maybe I should be in a workplace where it's a benefit or strength that I want a lot of things to happen and that I can handle a high speed.

#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

And I think that is really such a good question to ask as well.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

Like, what are my strengths?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#372 โ€“ Simone Giertz: Queen of Sh*tty Robots, Innovative Engineering, and Design

What are my weaknesses?
