Challenge Yourself, as applied to girls
I played squash today with Nomi from Peanut Labs. We’ve been playing together since we both started relearning the sport. We played six games and he won four of them.
It’s really good for me to play someone who’s better than me because they bring me up. I think that’s a good strategy for life – challenge yourself.
You know you’re challenging yourself when you lose or make mistakes. It comes with the territory. So if you’re not failing then you can’t be challenging yourself, and that is surely a bad thing.
Let’s apply this to girls instead of startups. If I’m ever more than about 25% successful with girls then I don’t think I’m challenging myself enough. If I’m significantly less than 25% successful, I’m challenging myself too much.
