I’ve been burned by my own hubris more times than I can count

But the source of my hubris (hubris?) is a sort of naive willingness / confidence (ok I don’t agree with this choice of words: hubris, maybe looking at it more like a child like wonder) - and it shouldn’t be put down, if anything it should be encouraged and cultivated further - you should look foolish and just generally do things whether you look foolish or not 

I think when you are an actual child you’re often given some leeway for your shortcomings - ah look July is a child how fun it is that he is making these mistakes. As you get older people become a bit more tight, and less open to failure. That’s a shame, that can be remedied easily imo

I totally resonate with what you're saying. That childlike wonder and willingness to take risks is so important! It drives creativity and growth. It’s unfortunate that as we get older, we often lose that freedom to fail without judgment. Embracing mistakes as part of the learning process can lead to incredible discoveries. Encouraging that mindset in ourselves and others is essential. We should definitely celebrate the journey, even the stumbles, because they often lead to the most valuable lessons. Let’s keep fostering that spirit!
