Countless amounts of people only pick up new skills before they're adults because, once they're adults, they feel humiliated for, gasps, not being immediately good at something they've just started practicing for the first time.

This is a brainrot that will make you grow hollow and valueless, a shell of a human being who cannot stand the minimum amount of struggle to improve themself, ultimately amounting to an empty shade that might as well be a hum in the background, unable to grow, unable to improve, unable to leave any further mark on the world. Embrace the humility inherent to climbing a new ladder, or else you will never feel proud for anything new you ever do.
