If Something Is Worth Doing It Is Worth Doing Poorly

Would you trade your iPhone 4 for the aBell 1? (Yes kids, it was  Alexander Graham Bell not Steve Jobs that launched this whole thing) You might if you have the same carrier that some of my friends have, but consider this. Did Steve Jobs invent a great phone or simply advance the cause of the first poor one? You get the point. Many students, salesmen, and business leaders are waiting until they can do it "right" before they do it at all.  The first phone, plane and auto were not great, but they were ahead of their time. Innovative. And a start. Take on that new project now and simply do it to the best of your ability. It won't be as good as it can be, but it will begin. It is in the best of now that we create the basis for the perfecting of things tomorrow. It is good to do things as best you can, but  don't let the paralysis of analysis keep you from creating that next great poor first something!
