**In the face of uncertainty, more often than not, _it's better to act_, even if imperfectly, than to do nothing.** Have a bias toward action. Don't wait until you're 100% you won't fail. Just _act._ If you do, you'll have a chance to succeeding. If you fail, you'll **learn**. You'll _probably_ get a chance to try again. **If you wait for the "right way" to proceed, you'll not move.** You'll not learn. You'll have zero chance of success. Put simply: > [!tldr] 🔑 Doing is better than not doing. > Fear of failure keeps us in an unsatisfied routines. Instead of daydreaming about change, reach out and attempt new things. Small steps with accompanying successes, lead to major life transitions. - Bernard Roth **** # More ## Source - [[The Achievement Habit]] - [[Ultralearning]] ## Related - [[Just Do It]] - [[Learn by Doing]] - [[Low-Cost Trials]] - [[Hugh Laurie Ready Quote]] - [[Planning is Often Procrastinating]] - [[Commit for a Bit]] - [[When to Decide]]
