How To Fail With Any Method, Guaranteed
- Start out with a lack of experience
- Because of this lack, put your faith in a method that should be able to help you
- Apply the method half-heartedly, get bad results
- Blame the method, don’t accept responsibility for your own results
- Because you’re not responsible, don’t bother learning anything, get no valuable experience
- Search for a new method that should be able to help you
Have you failed with a method? What did you learn? Don’t know what you learned, but you hate the method now? What can you learn from that?

Another good way to start if you aim to fail, is to start out without end in mind and to forget any strategies you might have.
