“You have to explore and examine the inside of yourself.”
You better teach yourself how to fail properly.
There is no passion and motivation.
''No one patted me on the back, I did all the work alone.''
You build belief when you have nothing.
You can’t just read about it & be a theorist. You have to be a practitioner.
There is no hack, do it! Do it! Do it!
