NOTE

Embrace Learning Through Humility

Engaging in activities where we are not proficient can foster personal growth and grounding. Taking lessons in unfamiliar skills, such as voice coaching or learning a new language, allows individuals to confront their vulnerabilities outside the workplace where they often have to project competence. This practice shifts the focus from performance to growth, helping to diminish the pressure of self-promotion. Historical examples, like Winston Churchill finding solace in painting after a challenging period in his career, illustrate that engaging in hobbies not only provides joy but also allows for self-expression without the burden of expectation or judgment, reinforcing the value of learning for its own sake.
