Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail, there’s only make.
RULE 7
The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.

The Liar's Workout
What’s the new psychological trick for improving performance? Strategic lying. When amateur golfers were told, falsely, that a club belonged to the professional golfer Ben Curtis, they putted better than other golfers using the same club. For a study published in March, human cyclists were pitted against a computer-generated opponent moving at, supposedly, the exact speed the cyclist had achieved in an earlier time trial. In fact, the avatars were moving 2 percent faster, and the human cyclists matched them, reaching new levels of speed. Lying is obviously not a long-term strategy — once you realize what’s going on, the effects may evaporate. It works as long as your trainer can keep the secret. Gretchen Reynolds
