@drewcoo I hear you, I did get this concept from the article too, with the example of a young child that is happy to try new things and just enjoy it. I think the improvement and learning or getting good at things is a side effect. Beyond just having fun doing new things, mastering new things can be an entirely different pursuit with it's own rewards but perhaps takes a lot longer (the "10,000 hour rule" concept that Malcolm Gladwell writes about in his book Outliers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_%28book%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliers_%28book%29 ).
- p00dles 5y agoIf you're interested, David Epstein wrote a book called "Range" that provides an alternate viewpoint to the 10,000 hour rule. I found Epstein's model resonated more for me than the 10k rule. https://davidepstein.com/the-range/ https://davidepstein.com/the-range/
