At the Royal College of Music, they say that when you go out on stage as a student, you must have practised so much that your best performance is good enough. But when you go out there as a professional, your worst performance must be good enough. That involves going far beyond the point at which you think you have perfected what you’re going to play. You must be able to rely on your skills whatever happens, even if you’re terrified or insecure, or things go unexpectedly wrong. The textbooks refer to this as ‘over-learning’. You have to be able to perform under all circumstances, but especially when you have additional challenges. You must be able to carve, cut or sew not only when your materials and tools are compliant and of high quality, but also when there are flaws in the stone or wood, or your instruments are blunt or missing. You must be able to perform when your body is below par; when you’re tired, unwell, stressed or anxious. You have to know what it feels like to be at or beyond the edge of what you are used to – or what you, your materials and the situation will tolerate without falling apart. You have to satisfy the audience, regardless of how you are feeling.

And yes I do think that publicly shaming people for having fun on their fanfics and including, in a fandom where the author of the actual series is nowhere near accurate, "inaccuracy", is not only idiotic but incredibly rude.
Fanfics are for fun, people write them to enjoy their writing, they twist facts and pick myths to fit what fits their world. Let them have fun.

This 1943 painting by Laura Knight (1877-1970) depicts 21-year-old Ruby Loftus (2921-2004) working at an industrial lathe cutting the screw of a breech-ring for a Bofors anti-aircraft gun. Ruby became an expert in the production of breech-rings in just seven months – something that usually took years. After the war, Ruby and her husband John Green emigrated to Canada and she never worked in a factory or engineering again.

We can all become expert at something, though we probably can’t become really expert in more than one or two areas. To become an expert you have to concentrate on your selected field, pushing distractions aside and focusing intently for year after year. It’s a long, demanding process that takes great effort, and there’s a lot of frustration along the way. This sounds obvious, but it’s something people often overlook. We live in a world that demands immediate results. We are also taught to believe that talent is innate, and that if you don’t show flair for something, it isn’t worth pursuing. I don’t think either of those things is true. Moving along the path towards becoming expert brings its own rewards: the slow march towards mastery is deeply satisfying – and, as we’ll discover, it meets a fundamental human need. Besides which, you won’t find out how talented you are until you try.

As someone who is myopic, nerdy, tech expert, creates and consumes entertainment and art, I have a theory in which I believe that Worker Drones and Disassembly Drones run a Linux-based system at their core.

Since lewisbian said you're the expert on mclewis, what the hayl did they do to him?
Based on how he acted afterwards, I felt they locked him up in the garage and only let him out when it was time to race
?? when did ale say that 😭 but that is funny that they said that JSJSJSJSJ. putting this under a readmore bc this turned out way longer than i expected lololol
i mean tbh they all but did that 💀 mclaren was like military school, everyone had to have a buzz/crew cut, he had to wear the same exact outfit thursday to sunday. the first year especially was tough bc of the intrateam politics with alonso and who would be the #1 driver. they had prioritized alonso bc he had just dethroned schumacher and was the reigned wdc. that’s why you had things like pitstopgate at hungary 🗿 (vine boom sound). anyway they didn’t give him equal treatment until halfway through the season, and even then they let him rot in china while leading the championship, and he was out for so long that his tyres were literally worn down to the canvas. then he lost the title by one point 🗿 (vine boom x2).
he also talks about how mclaren made him feel like he was a square peg trying to fit into a round hole and it just felt suffocating. back then mcl did a lot of pr stuff that was straight up nonsensical 😭 this is why we rarely see staged lewis videos on merc socials unlike other teams where he’s not just... sitting down and talking. anyway not saying mclaren was the devil incarnate for this, but it was just something that happened and lewis didnt like it, especially because they would just not let him do Anything Else. nowadays he talks about how “distractions” (putting that in quotation marks bc i dont think what he does in his offtime qualifies as distractions) are vital to his success. plus, it helped that he was signing for a younger team and he already had a world championship under his belt to allow him more freedom with his move to merc. mclaren was very different from the ~papaya~ team they are now.
and anyway this is all paired with the fact that mclaren was a dumpster fire on wheels heading towards a cliff. i guess hindsight is 20/20, but it is so easy for me to look back on the 2012 season and see why lewis would want to leave. like turrible pitstops, god awful strategies and approx 54 different mechanical issues in a single race... imagine dealing with all that and still having to get your hair buzzed at kuts r mclaren.
then there was the fact that he grew up with mclaren. i think he joined the mcl driver programme when he was like. 13? he might’ve been the first driver of that program ever. anyway yeah i think he said he just needed space to grow and he didn’t think he’d grow at mclaren where he felt he was perpetually 22 in their eyes. he wanted a team where he could be a leader and he felt like that wasn’t at there.
despite this, mclewis will always always hold a special place in my heart ! there really was just something so romantic about the absolute joy in his face for the 2007, 08 and even the 09 seasons. his happiness was so tangible. and as lewis said, you never forget your first!!! 😣💔
