"من معتقدم که افراد بزرگ قبل از اینکه آماده باشند کارها را انجام میدهند"
Quote meaning
Sometimes, the best way to achieve greatness is to dive in headfirst, even if you feel unprepared. That’s the idea behind the belief that outstanding individuals take action before they feel ready. It’s about jumping in and learning to swim as you go, trusting that you’ll figure it out along the way. It’s not about waiting for the perfect moment—because that moment might never come.
Think about historical figures like Steve Jobs. When he started Apple in his parents' garage, he didn’t know everything about building a massive tech company. He wasn’t entirely ready, but he believed in his vision and took the plunge. Can you imagine if he had waited until he felt fully prepared? We might not have the iPhones or MacBooks we rely on today.
Let’s look at a more relatable example. Picture a young entrepreneur named Sarah. She's just had an incredible idea for a new app that could revolutionize how we manage our daily tasks. But Sarah doesn’t have a background in coding or business. She could wait—take years to study software development and business management. Or, she could start now. She can find a co-founder who knows coding, start sketching her app’s design, and seek advice from mentors. By taking action before she’s ready, Sarah begins her journey, learns from her mistakes, and adapts along the way. In the end, she might just create the next big thing.
If you’re wondering how to apply this to your own life, start by identifying something you’ve been putting off because you don’t feel ready. Is it launching a blog? Applying for that dream job? Going back to school? Whatever it is, take one small step today. It doesn't have to be perfect. Perfection is often the enemy of progress. Just move forward and trust that you’ll gain the skills and knowledge you need as you go.
Imagine you’re at a coffee shop with a friend who’s nervous about making a career change. They’ve always wanted to work in graphic design but feel they need more courses under their belt. You’d probably tell them to start creating now—take on small projects, build a portfolio, and learn on the job. Sure, they’ll make mistakes, but those mistakes are invaluable lessons that no classroom can teach.
The magic lies in the doing. Great people don’t wait for the stars to align or for that green light that signals ultimate readiness. They act boldly, even when the path ahead is uncertain. They understand that readiness is a myth and that real growth happens outside of their comfort zones.
In short, if you’ve got a burning idea or a passion you’ve been sitting on, don’t wait. Start now. Embrace the uncertainty. Trust in your ability to learn and adapt. And who knows? Maybe you’ll look back one day and realize that taking that leap before you were ready was the best decision you ever made.
