... So you need to know what you're doing wrong in order to do something right. Groundbreaking.
- to3m 14y agoIf you're already stopping to think what you're doing wrong, you're probably already on the right track, and this article might be a bit basic for you :) Some people can be surprisingly unwilling to even imagine that they're doing anything wrong at all. They routinely assume that difficulties they encounter are the product of external factors, and never stop to even wonder whether the cause is their own sub-optimal decisions.
- nlh 14y agoIt's more subtle than that. You need to know _why_ you're doing things wrong - what's motivating you, what's preventing you from improving, what conceptions (or misconceptions) you have. As pg said, having self-awareness isn't necessarily a recipe for success, but a lot of failures come from a refusal to see the reality of the path you're on.
