I like this gem from the Outliers " practice is not what you do when you become good. it is what you do to become good at something" I some how felt this book was written with me in mind but by the end of it realised that it applies to everyone with a passion and the determination to succeed. i totally agree.

Not giving the company or yourselves enough time to learn ... and gain "execution" expertise is a common trap that most Es fall into. Expecting raw passion and blind self belief to over come a realistic time to learn ... is akin to jumping into the deep end of the pool on day one of a swimming class. Also, doing it right the first time saves a lot more error cycles ... which anyways end up costing a lot more time and money. A question worth asking ... do I really need to be in such a hurry?

A question worth asking … do I really need to be in such a hurry?
