My thought for today, and part of my philosophy of life: If you can’t learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.

  • @spaf@mstdn.social I tell my piano students that it’s hard until it’s easy, and it sounds bad until it sounds good.

    @spaf@mstdn.social yes!!! Many years ago, @deviantollam@defcon.social and the TOOOL crew ran a lockpicking challenge at Shmoocon - Gringo Warrior. The premise was that you had gone to Tijuana with Dan Kaminsky, shenanigans ensued, and you were locked in a Mexican police station, in handcuffs, with your passport in a locked file drawer. So the challenge was - how fast could you remove your handcuffs, extract your passport, and get yourself out of the police station? I had *just* learned lockpicking and was objectively terrible at it. But I entered anyway, and decided my only goal was not to come in dead last. With a combination of luck and a little social engineering, I "won" - came in third from the bottom! 🎉 To this day we still say "Gringo Warrior!" as shorthand for "I know I'm gonna suck at this, but I'm gonna have a blast trying it!" 😁
