I think his point is that being really bad at something is no fun. If my goal is to have fun I would rather do something I will enjoy right away.

You can't have anything without investment not even fun.

Being bad at something can be fun; that’s mindset. Being bad is the first step at being good at it!

Children are terrible at everything but they have a lot of fun anyway. Clearly it is possible, which makes this a mindset issue. Thankfully, that is within your power to change. Start having fun today :)

Children aren’t smart enough to realize how bad they are. Imagine wanting to draw and it comes out like an 8 year old drew it. Embarrassing
