Self-delusion and Self-loathing
Subscribe to the good words of Seth Godin
Self-delusion is lying to yourself about how good you are. You might think you’re a world class designer or actor or chef or administrator or problem solver, but you might be merely well-intentioned, hard-working and pretty good.

Self-loathing is lying to yourself about how bad you are. You might think you’ve got nothing to add, that you’re a lame designer or actor or chef or administrator or problem solver, but you probably have the potential to be great.

The Myth of Preparation
“if you’re not in the habit of being an expert, it’s unlikely your current mode of operation is going to change that any time soon.
Go, give a speech. Go, start a blog. Go, ship that thing that you’ve been hiding. Begin, begin, begin and then improve. Being a novice is way overrated.”
