| Hypothesis: Success is a curse for failure | |
| Someone who succeeds the first time doesn't understand exactly why. They know everything they did combined was good but they don't understand why. | |
| Someone who fails many times will eventually completely understand what works and what doesn't and every little piece that works and doesn't. | |
| Someone that just keeps doing the same thing because it worked for them in the past is doomed to fail because they stop learning from mistakes. | |
| In order to succeed we must fail. | |
| If you build something that you think is good you will never understand what specifically is good about it unless you have some successes and failures for contrast. |
