RE: ⏺I’ve made many mistakes. Here’s the one I learned from the most!

yea, everything you mentioned in this post is so true but at the same time its such a fine line to walk ya know, you cant be too humble or you'll end up being timid/shy/fearful, and you can't take other peoples opinions too seriously- the people that care about you usually want you to play your life safe and to be very successful you have to take big risks.
like how you are on steemit, you're spending a lot of time on here, time you could be spending at a job making a guaranteed paycheck.

I agree wholesomely overall but feel like the two major points humility and taking in others opinions need clarifying.

having a mentor is great, your mentor should be someone that is at where you want to be, I don't think you can take advice seriously from people that probably don't know what they're talking about.

like me, this whole comment is advice but I'm just a 21 yr old dude that's on the same road as you.

Shit son! Good to see you brother. Very good additional points! It's true, and I 100% agree with those 2 factors. You cannot be too humble, and you cannot be too accommodating. You definitely need to find that 'sweet-spot' and work within there.

Very true too. This is all a risk lol. However, at the same time, that's for a whole other discussion comparing the characteristics of the 1% versus the 99%. Good example though.

Well yeah, the way I see it, it's got nothing to do with my or your experience.. But rather everything to do with the person who needs help's judgement to fit their criteria for what they want to achieve.
For example, we might not be the most financially successful people yet, but confidence plays a huge role. Confidence and knowledge (combination) can in many cases over-ride personal experience in my opinion.
