THE ADVENTURES OF JJ PICKLETOES

I am not very good, but I will get better. 

I am not very good at it, but I just started so what can you expect. 

I am sure that you weren’t as good as you are now when you first started either. 

You know the famous quote, “Well begun is half done.” 

That is true with everything,  

mostly. 

People think that when someone is good at something that they always were good at it. 

Maybe not. 

Now, when I look around at other people, I see that most of them are good at it. 

Of course, some are better than others, but most people can do it fairly well. 

I am able to almost hold it and most of it goes where it should go. 

Okay some of it goes where it should go, most of it doesn’t. 

I am feeding myself for the first time,

with a spoon.  

Sometimes the spoon misses my mouth, but it gets really close. 

If I keep missing closer each time, eventually I should be able to get the spoon in my mouth every time. 

I will get better, like the people I see around me at the table. 

Other people are scared to try something new because they don’t think that they will be good at it. 

Really. 

I am trying everything for the first time, so you know that I’m not that good at anything, and I am not scared to keep trying new things. 

You shouldn’t rush at getting good at things. 

You know what they used to say. 

“First you get good, then you get fast.” 

That was about changing tires, and you know that I am not changing tires, I am just a baby, I can’t even walk yet. 

Once people see that you are good at one thing, they assume that you are good at other things. 

That is called the Halo Effect. 

You see, when people see that I am good at feeding myself they will assume that I am good at other things as well. 

So, you just need to become good at one thing and then people will give you a chance to do other things. 

You might not be good at them at first, but you will get better. 

That way you will be able to learn more things and the more things you learn the more opportunities you have. 

What is a thing that you could do, and people thought you were good at something else because of it?
