Re: The Ambition Project
#2As someone would have graduated from college for 10 years, I found the ambition project fascinating. As I grow old, I understand myself much more about my own weakness and strength. I would like to take the project as a catalog to train some part of myself out of it.

#3> The Failure Project
Is this an exercise in self-deprecation? Because, I suck at singing, and I would experience a tremendous amount of anxiety if I were to go to a pub and try singing karaoke for any kind of audience, but I know that I just show up, down 4 pints of beer as fast as I can and then do it, have a blast and move on with my life, doing it stone cold sober will scar me for life.

#4I think it's one thing to do this for yourself or subject others to it in a somewhat mild form (e.g. have them listen to bad karaoke) but "2. The Impossible Day Project" goes too far for me. If I was one of those people who are asked, thought about what we could do together, and then get rejected as part of some game or experiment, I'd be upset.

Doing it sober will not scar you. There's no such thing as a bad singer.

I appreciate your optimism but there definitely are bad singers

I'm assuming most decent people just help out their friend the next day, right? The lesson appears to be prioritisation, not being a jerk.

That was not my experience with karaoke. I suck at singing. I don't like karaoke much. I still go there sober and have a blast.
This is not a place where you take yourself seriously. Nobody expects Whitney Houston, just a random guy with good vibes.
