Trying Something New

Feedback Frequency

Garth Beyer

Here’s a tip you can keep in consideration next time you’re self-evaluating yourself after just starting a new project or venture.

Feedback

If you’re just starting out, trying something for the first time, if you really are a noob, then be sure to take the learning curve into account when you self-evaluate.

Critiques, improvements, self-assessments are simply a distraction when you’re first learning something. It’s a distraction because it takes real effort, focus and energy to assess yourself; attention and spirit better put toward playful progress.

In other words, when you’re told to “play around first,” take it seriously. The playing, that is. Instead of so much feedback, why not seek out the feedbag?

The Difference Between Paying Attention

Garth Beyer
Quoted from: http://vi.sualize.us/oj/

There is one huge difference between a person who pays attention and one that does not.

  • The one who does not pay attention has the excuse that it’s there first time trying something new.
  • The one who does pay attention succeeds the first time trying something new and get’s labeled as a natural.

When it comes down to it, getting labeled as a natural is rather, unnatural. People fail to see that you worked hard to pay attention so that you could fulfill the task without having to be told how to do it correctly.

Successful people do not fail to pay attention.

Successful people do not give the excuse that it is their first time.

Successful people take every opportunity to watch and learn how to do something the right way before even getting their hands dirty.

Most importantly, successful people don’t give a damn that their hard work goes unnoticed.

Stay Positive and Emulate Yourself To Success
