    Tenacity is an crucial skill to develop, and not everybody figures that out.

    Children are great at it, because they’re constantly learning to do everything and are expected to be beginners, but at a certain point for many adults, failing at something new challenges their self-image/self-worth, so they just find reasons to avoid developing skills altogether.

    Learning how to fail is a necessary step on the way to mastering anything.
