DON'T WAIT FOR RIGHT CONDITIONS

One of the most difficult skills every future million needs to have is      ability or courage to launch the imperfect product. 
 
“The first draft of anything is shit.” -Ernest Hemingway

When I thought I have completed my first book. After I gave the material to an editor, he said if he is going to work on that book I will not find anything inside. He collect the material wrote a forward and gave the parcels to me with instructions to go rewrite and reorganized. I nearly would have stop the business of writing. But been an author, the editor took time to explained to me with personal examples. Yes those advise really help, the first book was good and the second book will be better and the third will be the best. But I will never know if I never publishes the first one. Most people want to be wildly successful on the first try. But this almost never happens. Everyone’s first draft isn’t that good. That’s because we haven’t learned what “great” is yet. We are not able to produce great work without first producing a lot of crap.

The first draft of anything is shit

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you got to know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. 

Success isn’t about creating; it’s is about consistently practicing quality actions. Every day. Over and over. Unsexy, boring work. 

Michael Jordan didn’t become great while on the court of his widely-publicized games. And Michael Phelps didn’t become the most decorated Olympian of all time solely through his widely-publicized Olympic appearances. These individuals became great alone, in practice, every day, for years. Over, and over, and over. 

“Champions aren’t made in the ring. They are merely recognized there.” -Joe Frazier. 

Everyone’s first draft sucks. Get over it, publish it, and try again. Your second draft will be better.
