“How I learned to stop worrying and love being a noob” - visual nugget 22.07
Noob
noun, slang, usually derogatory and meant as an insult
Someone who has recently started doing something new,
like a (computer) game or anything else that requires any skill.
A noob has little or no knowledge or experience at something.
Noob, newbie, nub, n00b, noobie
Let’s face it:
As a baby you were a total noob. The only skills you were born with were eating, sleeping, breathing and filling your diapers. Anything else you do effortlessly today was a thing you sucked at earlier.
Being a noob is uncomfortable. You’re outside your comfort zone and that comes with unease. You don’t really know what you’re doing. Yet.
Being a noob isn’t about what you are. It’s the phase you’re in while growing. You don’t become a pro or stay a pro if you avoid becoming a noob sometimes.
In this changing world, to be a professional you must keep on learning new things. So you can still be a pro tomorrow. So enjoy the unease. It’s what growth feels like.
Only a real pro dares to become a noob again and again. 😊
