Never be afraid to do the scary things. Reach out to strangers, build new connections, learn about THEIR biggest problems, then get to work and be useful and help them solve their problems. If you can solve people's problems, you'll always be a welcome guest. Robert Greene wrote a book on Mastery - it takes a lifetime of focused dedication to master a skill. Victor Frankl wrote a book on the Search For Meaning - sometimes the most meaningful experiences come from our darkest pain. Robert Ringer wrote a book on Winning Through Intimidation - and contrary to how the title sounds, it is not about intimidating others, but rather survival skills when others try to intimidate you. I could go on and on, but I'll end with this last one:Gary Vee wrote a book on Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook - and it's all about giving, giving, giving, before you ever think about asking for something in return. Approach life with a healthy balance of confidence and humility, and never be afraid to do the scary things. - ArthurEngineer. Marketer. Software Developer.
