The speaker recounts a legal internship in France where they were tasked with translating French legal documents into English. They describe a dismissive partner who mocked their effort, questioning their competence. The speaker acknowledges their lack of skill at the time and reflects on a broader belief that success is not inherently difficult; rather, the challenge lies in learning how to try. They argue that once one masters the act of trying, they can outperform others.

Chapters

I did a legal internship in France translating legal documents from French to English. Just terrible work. There was this partner who was there and she like did one of these, like peeked her head into my hole or whatever, where they kept me to like translate documents. She was like, you know, how's it coming or whatever? And I was like, man, I'm just working really hard. And she just like looked at me and she just laughed. And I was like, what the f— what? And she was like, you don't even know how to work. And then she just walked away. At my position now, I 100% agree. Like, I didn't know how to work. And so I really genuinely believe that succeeding isn't hard. Learning how to try is hard. Once you learn how to try, if you just try at anything compared to other people, you'll win.
