I've learned to not pigeonhole myself into believing I'm bad at something and shouldn't do it e.g. writing was my weakest topic in high school + college. I ended up building an audience from blog posts and raised a fund from it. Turns out my writing worked better in short format esp on a topic I genuinely cared about

I thought I was bad at math (I had an awful geometry teacher in 10th grade and gave up after that). Ended up doing 50 pts better on math SAT a year later. I wasn’t bad at math — I just had a fixed mindset.
