I realized that one of the problem is I have is how good I
am in generating excuses.
This is again the side effect of one of my strengths, which
is my ability generate alternatives.
This means that even I begin in any plans, I will seek for an
exit strategy first. Should there be an exit strategy, I tend to jump to the
conclusion that the chance of succeeding is too low, or the impact of failure
is too high, and give up altogether.
This is the first in history that I finally concede that pessimism
is bad for you. It is a self-defense mechanism to bluff yourself into believing
that everything is bad and will turn out bad, so there is no reason to try, and
since there is no reason to try, there is no way to fail. Pessimism eventually
slips into cynicism.
The essentially means that I will attempt only things which
are proven to work, and dismiss everything else as mission impossible. That
also explains why there has not been any groundbreaking achievements in my
life.
It’s time I should make that self-proclaimed dare to try
attitude into a real one.
