Adopt a beginner’s mind.
初心者の気持ちでいよう。
When was the last time you learned something new?
When was the last time you made a mistake that only a novice does?
When was the last time someone laughed at you because you messed up something you were not good at?
We tend to hesitate to learn from scratch, especially after we get older, because we don’t want to feel embarrassed.
But when we stop learning something new, we stop growing—and our skill-set starts deteriorating. If we don’t want to see that happening, we must adopt a beginner’s mind—at least from time to time.
