Listen To Your Elders
I’ve realized recently how great it is to be the “dumb/young guy” in the room. Even if you are the driven and intelligent kind, think about how much you’ve learned those times you find yourself around people who are just really good, interesting and motivated. It’s not easy to just shut up and listen, especially when you feel like you might have a lot to contribute, but it is so worth it.
If you can manage, try to weasel your way into a crowd that has way more experience/expertise or might be older than you. When you get there, pay full attention. Trust that someone that has lived even a week longer than you probably actually does know more than you do.
It’s pretty simple right? Surround yourself with the best kind of people you can that have lived longer than you and you’ll learn a lot.
Free lessons are fantastic.
