Hey! Hope you are doing well in the place and the time you are reading this piece of text.
I wanted to dash off some text to express my thoughts.
I'm a guy who likes to build things first, if it fails then I read the instructions about how to build. I went through hundreds of failures in my jobs and projects. (There were big ones as explained here.)
I know it's not the ideal way, but what I realized, when I try to read all instructions first, I don't know what to focus on more and what to ignore in those thousands of details. I get bored easily and quit.
When I try and fail, I feel a strong hunger for knowledge.
That hunger makes me put extraordinary attention to reading instructions. I know where the failure comes from so my brain becomes selective on what to focus on. I can go behind what is written and match with the challenges in the process. I get the best from that book or course.
So what I say, don't hesitate to start. If you don't know where to start, how to start, you will learn it after you fail. The longer you wait to start, the late you will learn. If you try to go fail-proof, then you will find yourself counting in your place.
All the best,
Ömer
I started writing on Twitter as well. Let's get in touch if you find my writings interesting.
This is why I started trying to make new side projects - if it fails, at least I tried, and I do my best to try to learn as much from the process as I can.
Followed you on Twitter!
Great!
That's the thing.
Agree. I too prefer to learn by doing.
