Ideas are always easier said than done. Among millions of ideas in this universe, two stand out because they are more and more widely acknowledged and communicated now.
1. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Go make more of them, it leads you to success.
2. You can learn somethig from everyone you meet. Anyone, everyone.
They also stand out because they are so enthusiastically believed in words, yet so casually ignored in action.
-- Go make mistakes, you get laughters (if not sth worse). More mistakes, more laughters (if not sth horrible).
Doesn't look like what you get when people know you are on the path to success. That's why the youth orchestra that literally celebrates every mistake makes a terrific story. Idea and action align.
-- We are all snobs/prejudiced in one way or another. Some utterly ugly (your position? your income?), some more implicit (your taste? your education?). Alain de Botton had a good take on this. Instead of striving to live up to idea 2 here, seems like we prefer making use of such snobbery for our own benefits. Dress up, gear up, speed up the race...
We need everybody.
Be the only one to live up to these ideas while others don't, you look either stupid or naive. Or rebellious or idealistic. It's a dangerous thing to do, esp. when it's hard making a living.
The good news is, you are already making a life. Many people have the guts to do it only after becoming millionaires. Be Proud.
Plus: The games is changing fast nowadays, your remarkable bravery may be rewarded at the least expected moment...
