And you can imagine that each step in the stairs, you can see more, right?

You can see like more about your surroundings.

You'd see more about the path ahead of you.

And they're stubborn.

And they go, no, I won't change.

And I'm step three in.

And I can see being step three in that like, I only need to take one more step.

But I'm going to keep doing it the way I said I was going to do it because I don't want to be wrong.

I don't want to have to adapt.

I don't want to have failed.

People are just so afraid of failure.

Like they're so incredibly afraid of failure and they think of the wrong thing as failing.

Like building a company is a thousand failures and then a couple successes.

And I think what people don't realize is that you have to fail constantly in order to succeed at bigger things, right?

Like you have to make a million bets and then one of them pays off.

And people are really unwilling to do that because they think each one of those bets is a failure and then you're done.

I think Elon has tweeted something about this too, where it's like the first 50 times you fail, it like really sucks.

It's awful.

And then you just like don't care.

And there are some people, again, maybe this is going back to like the optimizing stress, optimizing failure, optimizing these things.
