Why going backwards is often a good sign of progress
The Three Month Vacation Podcast
When we think about the journey of a thousand miles, we often assume it means constant forward movement. We picture ourselves taking one step after another, continuing steadily until the journey is complete. But in reality, most journeys involve setbacks.

The Three Month Vacation Podcast
If you ask most people what is the core of learning, they will give you something banal like hard work or practise; however, they will also state that you need to get feedback.
