"Les grandes personnes font les choses avant d'être prêtes"
— Amy Poehler
Simplified Meaning:
Often, successful or influential people don't wait until they feel completely prepared before they take action. Imagine someone who wants to start a business. If they wait until they know everything about running a business, they might never actually begin. Instead, they jump in, learn along the way, and adjust as they go. Take the example of the Wright brothers who built the first airplane. They didn't wait until they had all the knowledge and perfect designs. They experimented and learned from their mistakes. This approach is valuable because it means you start moving toward your goal and improve as you go. In life, waiting until everything feels perfect can leave you stuck. By starting even when you feel unsure, you open yourself up to new experiences and opportunities for growth. If you want to learn a new skill, like playing the guitar, don't wait until you know all the theory. Pick it up, start practicing, and you will get better over time.
