Action is what builds momentum. So when I
was young and taking classes,
I come home. The first kid that would
listen to me would say, sit down. Let
me teach you this method. If I got
resistance from that kid, I moved on from
him until I started finding out, like, how
I'm messing up. They're not interested for a
reason.
My entry was bad. I learned by experimenting
on these 4 kids. We get better and
better and better. There's no master plan. There's
granular action. That's how I think you could
change anything. But it takes a lot of
suffering. It takes a lot of patience.
