I don't mean this in a bad or critical way: I genuinely do not understand this thought. As humans we are born shit at EVERYTHING. Literally. We can't even fucking walk.
In the developed world we spend the first 16-18yrs learning. And then some of us spend some more time learning.
I learned a new sport when I joined uni. Then I learned to programme. Then I learned a martial art.
I have spent my entire life being shit at things. Because I've also spent my entire life learning.
If you refuse to be shit at something, then you also refuse to learn, and to me that makes no sense - I think I'll only stop learning when I die.
This is just my unfiltered thoughts - I am not trying to be critical, I am just trying to explain how I cannot comprehend this kind of thinking because it is the literal antithesis of me.
Tenacity is a 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.
Children are often shit at it, and have full on screaming meltdowns several times in a few minutes when something doesn't go immediately their way
Otoh little bastards don't have a choice so they gotta suck it up
