"Il n'y a pas de perfection tu dois juste exécuter puis apprendre et ajuster"

When we talk about perfection, people often get trapped in the idea that everything has to be flawless before taking the first step. This quote is a gentle nudge that reminds us there's no such thing as perfect. Instead of waiting for everything to be ideal, the key is to start, make progress, and then tweak things as you go. Seriously, how often have we hesitated because we thought we weren't ready?

Consider the story of Apple—a company that didn't start with the iPhone we know today. Back in the 1970s, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak began with the Apple I, a simple, hand-built computer. If they had waited for a 'perfect' product, they might never have gotten off the ground. Instead, they launched, learned from their users, and kept improving. Their products evolved over time, each new release better than the last. Imagine if they had waited for perfection—would they be where they are now?

Think about your own life. Waiting for perfection can be paralyzing. Maybe you want to start a blog, launch a small business, or even learn a new skill. If you hold off until everything's just right, you might never start. Instead, dive in. Make a mess. Learn from your mistakes.

Here’s a practical example: starting a workout routine. You don’t need the perfect gym, the best gear, or an ideal schedule. Just start with what you have. Go for a jog, do some push-ups at home, or follow a simple YouTube workout. Over time, you’ll figure out what works best for you. Maybe you realize you love yoga, or perhaps it's weightlifting that keeps you motivated. The point is, you adjust as you learn.

To make this work for you, start by acknowledging that your first attempt won't be perfect—and that's okay. Perfection isn't the goal; progress is. Set small, achievable goals, and as you hit them, adjust your approach. Think of it like steering a ship. You set off in a general direction, but as you sail, you make small corrections to keep on course.

Let’s paint a picture. Imagine you're at a coffee shop with a friend. They’re excited about launching a podcast but are stuck—they want the perfect microphone, the perfect topic, the perfect timing. You tell them about the quote. You explain that they don’t need the best equipment or the most refined concept. Just start recording. Maybe the first few episodes aren’t great, but they'll learn. They’ll get better.

Life’s too short to wait for perfect conditions. Embrace the messiness of starting something new. It's through this process that you not only achieve your goals but also discover new strengths and passions. So, whether it's a project at work, a personal hobby, or a big life decision, remember: just execute, learn, adjust, and keep moving forward. Perfection is a myth, but progress is real.
