One never believes other people’s experience, and one is only very gradually convinced by one’s own. – Vita Sackville-West
Of all the people I’ve talked to over the years who’ve read the book “What Color is Your Parachute?”, I don’t think there was anyone who actually did the exercises. I’ve prided myself on doing them several times.
This week, it occurred to me that I’ve had the book “Sports Pysching: Playing your best game all of the time” for over twenty years, but I’ve never really done the exercises as suggested in the book. I’ve been doing them lately and my game’s improved markedly. But I’m humbled by how I’m no different than most people when it comes to learning from someone else’s experience.
