Throw More Pots

If you're going to be successful, it's going to come from doing. Doing...again and again. And again. One more time.

Evelyn Rodriguez writes some powerful posts at her Cross Roads blog. One I missed back in April was titled "throw more pots".   The gist is "Do and learn. Do a lot; Learn a lot. But just do."  It's not 'learn and do'. It's "do and learn".

Sometimes the greatest setback is the failure never encountered. You never tried it. You never took that first step.  You never learned from what you accomplished, maybe because it was disguised as a failure or setback.

So go forth, throw some more pots. Try a lot and fail a lot. Keep moving forward. Try it some more. You'll find you're getting better and you're learning. Learning by doing.

And the critics? Well, you're only criticized for success. Total failures get sympathy, pity or silence.
