In the book
If you are lucky you will also find a mentor — an older friend who spots the best in you and wants to draw it out — and you will recognize your own gifts by what you pick up fastest, since the speed at which you learn a new skill is the surest clue to where your talent lies. Third, learn from others; as Newton said, if he saw further it was by standing on the shoulders of giants. Reading widely lets you borrow the hard-won experience of others rather than paying full price for your own — for only the fool insists on learning solely from his own mistakes; and a simple, powerful habit before any big transition is to ask people who have already been through it what they wish they had known beforehand. […] Adopt the growth mindset on purpose. When you hear yourself say "I can't," add the word yet; treat effort as the road to mastery rather than proof you lack talent; read your failures as information about where to push, not verdicts on your worth; and actively seek out the negative feedback most people flee. Be a lifelong learner. Set aside time every single day for it, and never stop, because the day you stop is the day you die mentally; be your own great teacher; learn from the giants who came before you, and love the truth enough to admit when you are wrong. Leave the comfort zone deliberately. Don't log the same easy flight forever; find exactly where your ability breaks down and train precisely there, with clear goals and honest measurement, aiming not just to reach your potential but to build it, and growing by small increments rather than waiting for one heroic leap. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
