"we choose to go to the moon and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because we thought they were easy"
Yes. Unfortunately however I don't have much control over what I get interested in
It's easier to maintain that attitude if you look at other people's output and go:
"I don't know if I'm good, but I'm definitely better than those guys."
And also, that sounds super arrogant, but then again those guys make very embarrassing mistakes all the time, so idk...
Yes but it's self-fulfilling because I'm less interested in things that I'm bad at
Nah, there's tons of things I am noticeably less skilled at than the average person, but still way more dedicated and knowledgeable than randos.
I have the confidence that if I try at something I will fuck it up
