Absolutely agree Daniel. There’s an expectancy out there that you have to excel at things – your job, your relationships, your friendships, your home, you life. Nonsense.

The idea that you’re not allowed to screw up or be bad at things is one of the biggest reason why people lack the confidence to try things, and it’s only by trying things that you get to figure out what you like, whether you’re bad at it or not.

Go after what matters to you and forget about success and failure.

If you’re good enough in a bad style, you can beat those who are not good enough at a good style.

Thank you for the great post. I completely agree with the part of the post where you mention how the ability to experiment is a benefit to being terrible. Thanks again.

Your posts, as always, are amazing. I just finished reading The Talent Code and loved every bit of it. Couldn’t put it down. I await your next book. In the meantime, don’t stop posting on this blog! Thanks.
