Things I believe

You can learn anything.

• When something feels hard, you're usually just missing some prerequisite knowledge — or learning it the wrong way.
• No one is stupid — only too lazy to think.

The best way to learn something is by doing.

• Imitation is a great way to learn — it's just sampling — but always ask why it's done that way.

Always assume good intent.

• Communicate with empathy.
• They might just be having a bad day.
• Criticism is good feedback — if you can take it unemotionally.
