Failure is an invention, perfection is not.
Perfect is almost impossible.
Perfect for who?
Perfect for what?
If we're going to fail, the least we can do is figure out what will replace it once we have our perfect solution. And we have to do that fast—failure by inaction is far worse than failure by action.
A good failure is a form of practice. It teaches us what won't work to figure out what will.
Almost every successful project starts with a failure.
The problem is, it's easy to avoid failure, which means you won't learn enough, won't improve enough, and probably, won't ship enough to matter.
The only alternative is to push through it, to force yourself to design, to ship, to learn.
You're already on this journey. Why not make it a journey toward success instead of disaster?
Because if it works, you'll be shepherded by the market to the place you were hoping to go in the first place.
Even if you fail, you will still benefit from telling people about it.
Because if you fail, you will learn what you didn't know and discover how big the opportunity is and how close you are to being an essential part of it.
This is about making things better for the people who appreciate our work and us.
It's about celebrating the ones who see, who have the vision and who make a difference.
We need you to make things better. Not to be perfect, not to fit in, and not feel safe. We need you to be generous instead.
We need you to speak up, design better, lead and create.
This is your moment. What will you do with it?
