To arrive at the previous two posts one may follow this simple instruction set:
- Admit you feel like a genius
- Point out to yourself that you by no means are claiming to actually be a genius (only approach to the point of the difference being negligible (see… humble))
- Mix a little “if you think you are the smartest one in the room” cliche (making sure to break that fourth wall first)
- Surrender to the fact that you are just one more bloke in the room and probably an asshole for thinking so highly of yourself (see… humble).
- Imagine what it must take not to surrender to your own ineptitude. I came up with someone never really facing failure. How do you create anything real without failing?
