Repetition Is the Only Real Advice That Works.
from R3ciprocity.com - Prof David Maslach: Innovation; Research Life; Striving Towards Happiness · host David Maslach
Most people giving you advice don’t have any context for your life.Even well-intentioned advice usually falls flat, because they’re not in the game you’re playing.That’s why I’ve become more convinced than ever: repetition is the only tool we really have.You learn by doing. By failing. By repeating 10,000 times.Not by listening to critics. Not by believing every “tip” you read online.Here’s what I’ve learned: • The nastiest comments usually come from deeply unhappy people. • Even good advice is often context-free and useless. • The only real way forward is repetition — getting back up, doing it again, and finding patterns over time.Whether you’re doing research, swimming laps, or learning push-ups — nobody can “explain” it to you. You have to actually do it.That’s where growth happens.
