Transcript

When Steph Curry is bowling, he doesn't say I made that shot. He says that shot went in. So when he throws up bricks, he doesn't say I missed that shot. He says that shot didn't go in. You do the same thing with your ideas. You're giving yourself too much credit for the success. Success. So then when it doesn't work, you give yourself too much credit for the failure. It's hard to keep posting if you start thinking about yourself that way. Say what you want about Shelby, but she takes shots like third quarter step in 2016. If an idea doesn't work, it's not I didn't worse, it's that idea didn't work. She has conviction in who she is regardless. Your ego makes you a bad scientist. Stop asking why am I not good enough? Instead, start asking why did that idea not worse? Better you can make it less about you, the faster you can improve because you can then actually learn instead of spiraling thinking, what does this mean about me?
