Steve D Valentine uses a diving board story to argue you should jump into new things imperfectly. A mentor guides you through the basics, you learn by doing, and the practical lesson is simple: go feet first.
Thinking about the first time, you know, you dove off a diving board off the edge of the pool. Right. It was usually your parent or sibling that held your hand, said, let's do it together, because they've already had the experience and they're telling you it's okay. Right. To go down that road, it's like buying your first flip or doing your first rental. It's okay to do this. It's not going to be perfect and you're going to try it. But at least you jumped, Right? And now you know what it feels like. And the next time you jump. Well, don't land on your stomach, dumbass. Right. You want to go feet first. So those are the things that we go through that.
