Doing things poorly

Got this quote from Carson 02 on flying and Zig Ziglar.

As Zig himself puts it, "Yes, it'sabsolutely true that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly -until you can learn to do it well."

I leaned to fly an airplane poorly until I could do it well and ultimately became an airline pilot, chief pilot and flight instructor.

Hang in there and keep trying until you can do it well...like doing Wealthy Affiliate well.

Still working at Wealthy Affiliate and some other things until I can do them well.

It is a never ending process. What I have done poorly and sometimes well:

Pilot, mechanic, missionary, preacher, writer, continuous student of theology and many other things.

Welcome, Derrence!

It's part of the learning process, isn't it?

Hi Fran and thanks.

I love it! That makes a lot of sense... if something is worth doing then it is worth doing poorly until we get it right! I may never be perfect, but I still will continue to aim for perfection in the things I do. I will keep doing them until they are as close to "perfect" as they can be made!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this! Very much appreciated!

Thanks Karin. Don't aim for perfection. It will never come to your satisfaction. Aim for what you can do to achieve your goals.

Aiming high! Thank you Pastor Derry!
