  1. It is generally taboo to state that you or I have awoken, so many people try to not do this. To do this putting yourself out there for real takes a lot of courage, let's not deny this.
  2. Guitar is the common one. How long before I get good at playing guitar? This is amazing here in terms of fast development, I don't know if it is folklore or not, but it is commonly said: "Charlie Parker practiced between 11 and 15 hours a day for a period of three to four years to master the saxophone."
  3. This is similar to the question how long does it take to get really good at playing a musical instrument. For me the first few years were the best, and then the last 6 or 7 years has been a slow integration.
  4. Is the inverse of cold approach where you don't even try and people approach you for conversation?
  5. I think people gamble because they are bored, and they think they are smart enough to make money gambling. I love going to Las Vegas but I never gamble, although I don't judge people who do. But I think it is an addiction for some people. Somehow they think they are due a win or clever enough to secure one. You're basically paying for entertainment, but you can get it for free like me who goes to Vegas and never gambles. I have friends who gamble and they are brilliant strategists, but they just don't understand the house always wins.
  6. Artistry is fundamentally misunderstood IMO.
  7. I like the attention to detail in the texture.
  8. This looks delicious, I'm going to attempt to make this.
  9. Is cold approach like cold calling in sales basically?
  10. Some people do have this tendency, they are very particular in wanting things to be a certain way.
  11. I try not to have a duality between formal vs. casual sharing when it comes to spirituality. This is just me though. I respect other views.
  12. Why is it necessary to do this more than once?
  13. Yes. These are the right questions to ask. This is the push back I expected.
  14. I'm not saying this is bad necessarily. We need to learn how to perform. This is not a bug it is a feature!
  15. As soon as someone manipulates my words I know where they are coming from.
  16. Yes, they have little time because they are playing games.
