This is very true. People tend to judge others based on their current appearance, but this doesn't make sense. People work really hard to overcome their fears, failures, and so on. I relate a lot to the 'sometimes I work on the wrong things.' But what really matters is gaining the experience to keep going and improve ourselves.
I fully agree with your definition of success. Celebrate all the small victories instead of trying to hit a home run without the background work. Some are selling an overnight success image, but it is definitely misleading.
Thanks for reminding this Jason, I too believe in what you said. But what about blind confidence? I know lot of people who does it. Sometimes they fail confidently, but most of the time they pull it off as they put themselves against the wall. But it makes me so angry that they fake confidence as it misleads others.
fake confidence is hard, because it’s often meant to avoid looking weak/vulnerable. or it’s Dunning-Kruger at work. in either case, self-reflection is probably what’s needed, but if someone’s trying to avoid looking inward there’s not much to be done
This was wonderful, Jason. Loved it ❤ The programming world needs more of this type of conversation - beyond the technical "how-to". Your words of wisdom here apply to general life and happiness. Bravo 👏
And more you pass on doing something, the more you're building your "bitch muscles". You can train mediocrity as much as you can train confidence. Learn to break large overwhelming complex goals into simple tasks, or better yet just routines. (I will focus on this for just 1 hour a day etc...)
