Don't forget to add the "Facebook Effect" where everyone else does everything just perfectly, and most everyone is scared of experimenting by "trying" something that might not work out.

We need to re-define what failure is.



is it real ? by watching youtube videos of people with various skill levels (including grads, phds, old gurus) I am quite motivated to try and have no notion of failure or fear of it in my mind (and I'm the kind to be afraid to fail)

it's surprising how two platforms can breed two opposite sentiments. Culture I guess.


It's one thing to watch experts you don't know excel at things.

It's a very different thing to get the notion that your peers/friends on social media have everything worked out while you're struggling due to their selective sharing.


Oh i see it's différent kind of relationship/competition indeed
