Be willing to be a beginner

When you attempt to learn a new skill, you most likely will not be great at it from the start. Most things have to be learned and practiced. You will eventually become good at some things and maybe great at others. Others you may never get past the beginner stage, and may never become good at them. But you have to be willing to go through the part at the beginning, when you have not yet mastered the new skill, to find out how good you may or may not be. Be willing to be a beginner.
