The video is not about, facing up the challenge 1000 tries no matter what. It’s not about giving up after first try. It’s not about coming back latter to revisit the problem neccesairly.
The video, is about finding your balance. Balance in which the right amount of tries, and right amount of distance of walk-away, gives you the best progress, in game, life and work.
It’s all about finding your own values for these things.
See, someone may enjoy, facing up a challenge. So hard, that he needs to try 1000 times to beat it.
And they will, try it as much as needed to succeed.
Problem is, everyone is different, and every problem is also not the same problem.
There is a strand, a solid base of similarity sure.
I’d sometimes feel weird. Skipping a boss to go exp. To strengthen my character in-gane. To later on revisit that same boss. And beat him in 5, 10 or 20 tries.
The thing is. Would I be forced to try the single fight, without possibility to first level up.
I’d likely quit by try 50. Just not my cup of tea.
See, in some matters a person may prefer to try 500 times rather than revisiting the problem-boss later.
But that same person may other get discouraged in other areas, where they don’t have such drive to try 500 times in a row.
For things that benefit them greatly.
Being flexible is absolute must. Knowing ones limits for tries. Knowing the things can be dropped for now. Knowing that they can be revisited later, when it become easier. Knowing that the satisfaction can be just as much.
And knowing that if you don’t plan to return, the opportunity might be lost forever.
But you know. Don’t skip the fight forever. Plan your come-back. Don’t wait forever for the fight too. The perfect conditions will never come.
Overcoming obstacles, by learning to build character that can overcome them. The way of progress.
