I love the article “Twelve Steps To Sucking Less”. Must follow it.
12 Steps To Sucking Less
- Try something (most people never even make it this far)
- Realize you suck
- Decide you want to get better
- Try again, realize you still suck
- Practice, suck a little less.
- Practice some more, suck a little less.
- Contemplate quitting. Don’t.
- Become tenacious. Try again. Suck a little less.
- Practice some more and watch everyone else go home
- Keep f***ing practicing. Suck a little less.
- Outlast everyone…become mediocre
- Repeat as necessary
The secret to getting good at something isn’t being superhuman. All you have to do is be determined to suck less than most people. Eventually everyone else gives up, and you’ll be mediocre, sucking a little less…every…single…day.
THE END
I just couldn’t agree more. In fact, I’m picking this up for a post right now.
