YOU BECOME WHAT YOU PRACTICE.
It applies to risk, confidence, courage , approaching girls
Suppose you see a girl and want to talk to
You feel nervous and imagine rejection, you avoid approaching her and your brain feels temporary relief, and next time, approaching feels even more difficult.
YOU HAVE UNKNOWINGLY PRACTICE AVOIDANCE
Trying new things are difficult ,often leads to early embarrassment since you're inexperienced.
But not trying them definitely results in regret in long term.
I think better parameters that determine man's success is not his IQ. It's his ability to deal with stress, persevere in the face of adversity and choosing the right path.
Can you think of a person who is less intelligent yet making much more than you make?
