Do things even if you have no idea whether you can pull them off well.

One learns to play the game only by playing, not by hiding under the comfort of a shell.

Don’t wait for the situation to get ideal and get moving with your action.

Along the way, embrace the unknown and adjust your steps based on your learning and reflection.

Don’t feed your fear by rationalising countless delays in starting.

Pushing yourself to take a risk without fear of failing or blowing up is difficult but rewarding.

Accept a challenge with zeal and never let unsavoury thoughts grow inside.

Imagine yourself making the biggest possible impact in the future, which will bring you the greatest pride.

Despite a troubled start, you can still reap huge benefits as compounding of your efforts takes place.

Even with no initial plans, you can always discover your core focus midway to be in a long and steady race.

Loosen the knot of resistance so you can unwind yourself and be in your free will.

Shrug off excuses as they are self defeating and will put your progress to a standstill.

With passing time, your initial ideas evolve into many other resounding ideas to make your pursuit worthwhile.

Move forward and discover the values in your ideas without sitting on them and letting them rot meanwhile.
