Original Advice
“DO: Build competence before claiming the mic.”
Mastery Before the Megaphone
Charisma isn't competence. Volume isn't vision. You want the mic because the room lifts when you breathe, but a stage spotlights shortcuts as well as shine. Empty certainty breaks trust. A leader who hasn't done the reps becomes a mascot. Build the muscle, take the bruises, know the bolts. Then speak. Until then, close your mouth and open your notebook.
Authority is gravity made from repetition, error, correction, and proof. Competence gives your voice weight; performance alone gives it echo. People follow the one who can fix the jam at 2 a.m., not the one who declares destiny. Learn the numbers, the names, the constraints. Do the boring drills. When you finally take the mic, your silence beforehand will have done the loudest work.
Cosmic Context
Fixed fire craves the spotlight, but the Sun burns by core fusion, not flare. Your royalty is proven by craft, not crown.
