      Learning: 1) Make something. It sucks. 2) Realize it sucks. 3) Actually care about it. 4) Find ways to improve. 5) Try again; repeat forever. A lot of people get stuck at either 2) or 3). 4) and 5) are practically automatic if you pass 3).

      If you give up after realizing you suck -- you didn't care enough. Caring is persevering. Forever.

      If you don't have sufficient taste or vision, or if you are never exposed to the best, you will fail 2). You'll never realize your output is terrible. So seek out environments that will humble you

      If you are content with mediocrity, or you don't want to admit to mediocrity ("I'm just not made for this, let's never do it again"), you will fail 3). To learn, you need to care. You need intrinsic drive.

          So why are we still using Algorithms that generate black box models? When so we care enough to move on?

          You don’t fail at something if you stop caring. Failure is only in context of wanting something but not able to get it. PS: Failure is a terribly weighty word. It’s really hard to fail in general. Rather than failing, we change our goals and that’s ok.

          I think perhaps we crave surpassing mediocrity with an epic success whereas incremental improvements are less exciting and seem hardly worth the effort. Ironically I think it's the incremental successes that got us to the advancements of today and not just breakthroughs.

          Intrinsic drive: Moving forward even when your peers/superiors/audience throw tomatoes.
