What would be your first step of doing something the best in the World?
- philiphodgen 13y agoDecide that "I am the best in the world" is true. Then ask yourself what to do next. Hint. Work damned hard for 30 years, focused on your skill.
- evgenyknyazev 13y agoGood point. Does this mean that whatever you decided to do you will succeed if you work hard? What if you already spent some years on something that is still far from perfect but your still believe you could improve it to make the best?
- jaredsohn 13y agoGet started; it takes time to acquire experience.
- evgenyknyazev 13y agoTrue, but don't you think experience is bad thing sometimes because it tells you X is undoable?
- jaredsohn 13y agoExperience is a prerequisite to being the best at something. If you've never actually tried it, how can you claim to be the best? I think the idea is that you try it, reflect on how you can do better or on what other skills you need, and try again (i.e. lots of iteration.)
- kstenerud 13y agoHave something you are so passionate about that you'll eagerly spend the rest of your life tirelessly honing your skill in it.
- evgenyknyazev 13y agoThe more time you've spent on your passion the less you have left from initial state... How could you return to it? Try some new angle of existing thing?
- kstenerud 13y agoI'm not so sure of that. From Zen monks to painters to writers to martial artists to pianists to rock climbers to luthiers to surfers to architects... As long as there's a new height you can reach, there's plenty of room for passion to flourish.
- stray 13y agoSucking at it without losing enthusiasm.
