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.

You have to seek people that can help you remove those blind spots.

And then you have to put in the work to get better.

I forget who the Greek philosopher was, maybe you remember, that used to go and he would sleep on the street like once a month or something like that in shabby clothing because he wanted to remind himself, oh, this is what I'm afraid of and this thing isn't that bad.
