Rather than asking, how can I be successful?
I asked, what can I do NOT to be successful?
The rephrase is based on a mental model
introduced by a great mathematician, Carl Jacobi.
It’s called “Inversion Thinking.”
Instead of asking how to write like a pro.
Ask, how to write like an amateur.
It’s easier to avoid making dumb mistakes
Then trying to be right all the time.
I will look too dumb if I continue making these mistakes.
