Whenever you are stuck searching for the optimal plan, remember: Getting started changes everything. - James Clear

Three ways to learn something new:

1. Reflect on what you have already tried.
2. Attempt something you have not tried.
3. Read about what someone else has tried.

One version of confidence is: I've got this figured out.

Another version is: I can figure this out.

The first is arrogant and close-minded. The second is humble and open-minded.

Be humble about what you know, but confident about what you can learn.

Reminder: If someone is acting like an idiot, you can just move on and let them be wrong. You do not have a personal obligation to correct people who are committed to being stupid. Sure, sometimes you need to attempt to get on the same page, but usually you can simply reclaim your time and move on to more productive ventures.
