Praise for the solutions that never worked for me
I've spent a lotta time pouring over documents, videos at varying speeds, long form lessons, audiobooks, and a stack of physical books my monitor is sitting on top of. So much more I'd like to think, too. The question stands, "What did I expect to gain spending so much time?" What solutions did I find to the spiraling challenges of making things, so to say. I can say for sure I've found one thing: In my time studying I've found so much shit that outright did not work. Sitting here now with tons of personal and group success(relatively) I ask myself what about the rest.
Things which are worth considering but also wrong. These are the giant's shoulders, and the way I build myself upward.
The moments between will follow you, always. Who you are between your moments is the most common form of you.
A moment to clarify:
I absolutely do not mean the blatantly inflammatory statements that all too often show up as a shocking rug pull: "Undertale is actually a code mess, it was coded like shit!" "This person is the best in their field, but they actually SUCK at animation!" Sounds like a self esteem issue :P Maybe put that thought back. You aren't praising if you tear someone down to do it.
Observing failure too is wholly useless for education I believe, though I find it hilarious that its a centerpiece excuse for consuming entertainment in guise of education. Just watch the movie, just play the game, you don't need to call it education. It can be I suppose, I'll just try and evade the topic. I'm too biased against it. Entertainment is okay, there is value to it! I'm working entertainment :P
How you go about finding your education is something like 75% of the process I think. You learn a lot to execute a few small things, and maybe you're MEGA smart and reproduce that thing a bunch. How you talk about that education after, how you regard your sources, how you treat your prime examples and the esteem you give things that comfortably teach you. Part of who you are is how you treat your sources.
We can discuss so much content that isn't immediately useful, or is useful to others than us. Insights that hit you yesterday hit someone else today in a new form.
I've grown alongside others for I'd say about a quarter of my time. In that time, people showed me things that I had no use for but I hadn't considered how useful it was to them. Every solution that didn't work for me could still come to someone else. I've come to understand that when I see information on repeat that I know, its reaching someone else and perhaps it sticks. Information that failed you can serve others.
This world is a great blue sky, it still amazes me when I see people break the clouds near me. The unique ways we go higher, the unique reasons. My 25% of study alongside others has been by far the best. Showing things to others, taking the time to show them has inspired others to try and teach me too. Still getting used to that :3 People listen to you, they take in what you say.
