funny, for me it comes quite naturally. It's the other one I struggle with from time to time.

It took me a while to create a method which would give me an objective answer to the question "When do I know I am wrong?".

Before that, I would hold on in the hope that I might be proven right. Trades like that rarely work out.

Getting to the point where you actually know what you are doing, and doing nothing until that point.

everybody can do something, almost nobody can do nothing

You would think doing nothing should be very easy, especially when after all the times your mother and your teachers complained, "Why don't you do something?"

I can do just about anything you ask me to do, as long as it isn't nothing
