Discarding your equipment means admitting failure and shedding part of your identity. You have to rethink your goal in your job—and your role in life.
If you’re a scientist by trade, rethinking is fundamental to your profession. You’re paid to be constantly aware of the limits of your understanding. You’re expected to doubt what you know, be curious about what you don’t know, and update your views based on new data.
The brighter you are, the harder it can be to see your own limitations. Being good at thinking can make you worse at rethinking.
You can be confident in your ability to achieve a goal in the future while maintaining the humility to question whether you have the right tools in the present. That’s the sweet spot of confidence.
