Why do people just suck at learning new things?
They are not willing to fail, for a very, very, very, long time
I have been on a bit of a binge recently, just consuming creator and entrepreneur mindset content, (Thanks to Lex Fridman, Colin and Samir, Nilay Patel, Chris Do) — and the one thing that everyone clearly understands is:
You need to be humbled
You are going to fail at things when you start, you need to get comfortable with it
Years ago, I had no software background
Now I manage teams working on projects worth way more than I would have ever imagined
Years later,
– I fail at writing
– I fail at getting my ideas out there
– I fail at being my own boss
And
– I fail at being the best Product Manager out there
But as Giannis puts it, failures are just steps toward success.
Keep on failing!
At the heart of it – I love solving problems for people using tech, it doesn’t get simpler than that.
Some know me as a Product Manager who relentlessly executes, some know me as a mentor who hand holds them to success, some know me as a techhead who won’t stop complaining about ‘that one thing’, and lastly; some know me as that guy who is always experimenting with something new.
As long as its in the realm of tech, I am interested – because my love for tech fuels my passion – sknexus.com – and my profession – saqibtahir.com
