A view of life and commercial real estate from Newark and Licking County, Ohio
Your first attempt might not be very good, but nobody's early work is good. There will always be a gap between where you are and where you want to be. And the bridge between that gap is courage. The courage to look foolish in the beginning. The courage to show up again when your early work is criticized. The courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I realize I'm not good enough yet, but the only way to get better is to keep working on it."
-James Clear, from this episode
It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.
-attributed to Confucius
----------------------------------------
The Master said, The case is like that of someone raising a mound. If he stops working, the fact that it perhaps needed only one more basketful makes no difference; I stay where I am. Whereas even if he has not got beyond leveling the ground, but is still at work, the fact that he has tilted one basketful of earth makes no difference. I go to help him.
-Confucius, Analects, Book 9, Verse 18
Humanity's capacity to invent solutions to its problems and to identify how to make things better has proven to be far more powerful than all of its problems combined.
-Ray Dalio, Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order
