One of Jordan Peterson’s Rules for Life is to “Don’t Bother Children When They Are Skateboarding.”
I quite frankly agree. Just got a long board myself for the first time, and boy is it scary jumping on that device for the first time. I like my feet on the ground. I like having something stable and comforting. All humans do, but its those who are willing to keep jumping onto skateboards, longboards, businesses, new jobs, new cities/states, that are the most happy. We need to lose our balance, get scraped knees, and go through pain/frustration to learn new tricks.
