I just told my daughter yesterday,

that faith is a valuable thing we can rescue from Christian religion:

- We should always have faith in equality, forgiveness, goodness and kind love (this keeps us humane)

- We should always have faith in humanity's capability to go far (this keeps us progressing)

Faith is useful because proof is costly and sometimes proof is not available, it's also part of our evolutionary algorithm to not get stuck in local maximums.

We can't know for sure the results of going where nobody has gone before

Definitely a lesson in persistence.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Jensen Huang famously pivots away from ideas and tries new ones out.

We need a Serenity Prayer for business, where we emphasize that knowing the difference between these two situations is the whole ballgame.
