TIP #5 BE WILLING TO LOOK STUPID

If determined to improve then push the boundaries of what’s possible. To make it happen build new connections in the brain. This means reaching, failing and looking stupid. Risk the emotional pain of making mistakes. Reaching, failing, and reaching again is the way the brain grows new connections. Mistakes are guideposts to getting better. Work at the edge of current ability in order to get better. Everyday, make a decision that scares you. Reach and reinterpret mistakes as the information necessary to navigate to the correct move.
