To be an expert at anything you need to put in 10,000 hours of practice. It’s the reason why I’m no good on the ukulele. I bought a really cheap one a few years ago and it refuses to stay in tune.

How to not be hard on yourself 1. your mistakes are part of your learning. 2. don’t compare yourself to others because you are not them 3. there is no right way to do anything 4. stand up for what you believe in even if its unpopular 5. learn from people who criticize you 6. accept your weaknesses as your “features” 7. look at your past as an adventurous biography 8. don’t underestimate your talent until you apply it 100 times 9. every single problem you have is not unique 10. intelligence is relative. self-esteem is not. 11. express your anger in a creative way 12. surround yourself with people who want you to succeed.
