Avoid the trap of overconfidence

Never expect the second chance to be the same as the first. It’s easy to think that a similar situation has all of the same qualities as what preceded. This is a mistake. Instead approach any new situation as if you are seeing it for the first time. Except use your past experience as a way to upgrade your ability to pay attention and notice nuance and detail. This puts you in a better position to avoid the trap of being overconfident.
