You can not succeed, sitting idly by. Do not wait for the right time: it just does not happen. Start right now. Action creates results. The result produces action. The world around does not stop just because you have something to think about. Stop again and again to weigh the pros and cons - just do it.

That we must learn to do, we learn by doing!

Aristotle

Knowledge does not mean the result

Quite often we find ourselves in the so-called knowledge trapped: looking for the new information and skills before proceeding to action. At the same time acquiring new knowledge becomes just a pretext, allowing to postpone difficult or unpleasant for us the matter for later. Although much more useful than just learn something, and actively practice this activity.

Here's how to explain this popular blogger James Clear (James Clear):

Although during the passive learning we acquire new knowledge, we do not learn how to apply them. A much better form of learning is practice. Only if you make mistakes, we begin to truly understand how to construct one or another field of activity.

James Clear

Of course, in any undertakings need some basic level of knowledge, but does not necessarily know about their chosen field everything to the last detail, to begin to do something.

It is impossible to prepare absolutely everything. And if your goal - to achieve concrete results, rather than simply to gain additional knowledge, the study of new information may become just waste of time.

Devote more time to practice,

No one manages to do everything right the first time, or the twenty-first, or even forty-one. Skills are developed during practice - the only way you become a master of his craft. Writes about this in his book "How to achieve the desired power of thought" (The Practicing Mind) Thomas Sterner (Thomas Sterner).

All the achievements do not come just like that, but require long-term practice. And life itself - is one long series of repetitive actions. When we understand why we need the practice, need to learn something new and no longer cause stress It becomes a process that brings peace and pleasure and helps to take another look at all of life Problems.

Thomas Sterner

Practice - it's not boring hard labor on the way to perfection and not a waste of time, and the process of bringing pleasure in itself. Do not hurry. Allow yourself to make mistakes. Over time, you will all get better and you will learn not only to think about the end result, but also enjoy the process of achieving the goal.
