Found this gem in James Clear’s 3-2-1 newsletter, and it’s so true…
Powerful combination = Hate being bad at stuff + Willing to look like a beginner.
People who hate being bad at stuff are driven to improve. However, if they are unwilling to look like a beginner from time to time, they will avoid new challenges and struggle to reinvent themselves.
Meanwhile, people who are willing to try new things, but lack a thirst to improve will settle for mediocre results.
It’s the willingness to look foolish for a short time—but not for a long time—that leads to jumps in performance.

Just got back from a quick Spring Break trip to Amelia Island (Jacksonville, FL area). Stayed at this great Airbnb with some amazing ocean views. Spent each evening with the patio door wide open listening to the waves crash against the shore.
The first day we took a 2 hour boat trip with Amelia Adventures, and got to see wild horses, a manatee, and dolphins! Ate at Sliders Seaside Grill which was my favorite dining place of the trip (plus The Tavern by AIBC for beer and pretzels).
Wednesday we bummed around downtown Jacksonville and Neptune Beach. Downtown wasn’t all that great since the “Friendship Fountain” was closed, and not much to do, but Sweet Pete’s Candy Shop was a fun stop. There were also some museums and such, but we didn’t bother with those. Ate at Fish Camp on the beach, which was ok, but not as good as I’d heard it made out to be.
Thursday was a day for history and learning while we drove the A1A (“beachfront avenue”) and rode the St. Augustine Trolley Tour. Dinner at Salt Life Food Shack which was decent.
Overall, I could have spent the entire time just reading and listening to the ocean, but alas the kids actually wanted to do things, and I guess we had to eat too 😊. I’d say check it out if you’re looking for a laid back trip.

Super interesting book. Surprising how much I recall hearing about or living through, but now getting the behind the scenes look. From the people you always hear about like Musk, Thiel, and Hoffman to the less known names this is an easy read that’s worth the time.
Here’s one passage in particular that I found telling and interesting. Specifically this “People who are smart and energetic are often angry. Not at each other, usually. Rather, they’re angry that we’re ‘not there yet'”
