I’ve been a member of Medium since April 2018. It’s only in recent weeks I’ve started to “get it” with the help of editors like Dr. Preeti Singh, Dr. Gabriella Korosi, Libby Shively McAvoy, Patrick Stewart, KiKi Walter, R C Hammond 😎 FHB, BTDT, Bette A. Ludwig 🔍 PhD, and others.

Thanks to each one of you! You’re beyond kind and caring, and that makes a world of difference.

If you read nothing else, here’s the biggest mistake anyone in the growing Medium community can make: Comparing ourselves to others.

“Comparison is the thief of joy.” — Theodore Roosevelt

Stop comparing yourself to anyone, especially on social media, if you want joy.

Mistakes I’ve Made En Route to My Quantum Lead

I’ve made plenty of mistakes in life and on Medium. I’m human, just like the rest of us.

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.” — Oscar Wilde

I’m learning from my mistakes, which is the entire point of failing to achieve any goal or desire.

Arrogance
