I read it.
immediately recognized that this aligned with what I call the physics of being human.
It was so in line with removing my blind spots, getting people, acknowledging that other people are better than me at certain things.
And so while I take a little bit of an exception, because I think that you can't say what you're good and bad at until you've been at this for a long time.
You've been trying, you've been pushing, you're learning, you're failing.
Because by nature, I'm lazy.
I am not very bright.
I think there are people that can process raw data far faster than I can.
But I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong.
I'm willing to admit that I don't know.
I'm willing to admit when I make a mistake.
And because of that, because I go in that cycle that you talk about of making a mistake, looking nakedly at it, not pretending I didn't screw up, asking people to point out my flaws, and then going, and now I'm going to have to do what is called deliberate practice to get better at that thing.
And I don't just ask.
And I don't think people can afford right now to just say, oh, what do I want to do?
For a lot of people, this is gonna be Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
You need safety, you need security, you need food, shelter.
And I think it's gonna come to that.
And so recognizing there are people out there right now that know more than you.
You are going to make a mistake, but those mistakes are huge learning opportunities.
You have to admit that you made one.
