Completing More to Achieve Better
I started to write for the newsletter several days ago. The motivation is still not certain, or maybe I can say that it is not focused on a particular reason. One of the ideas spinning around my head was the achievements of quantity over quality over time. I do not want to dive into the subject of this article, I would like to dedicate a separate one to it. Nevertheless it was one of the motivations, keeping it short, simple but consistent. Because beside that idea I realized that satisfaction firstly comes from completing, then the count of that and lastly it comes from the quality of the thing that you complete. The understanding that I grew up with always valued quality intellectually and quantity practically. The completion was the imperative that was forgotten to thought.
I feel like now that I learned much but did little to benefit from it during my whole life. Luckily I am still very young. So I decided to complete more before I care about the inner details of anything.
Every time I finish another, during the process of it I feel like I understand the practical aspects of achieving quality. Because finishing something makes you think about the whole process. Most importantly even though your expressions in the work that is done are deficient, it makes you think about the bads and goods; possibilities and variations around the work. And I believe criticizing what you created is more instructive than making it. On top of that, having the quantity to experiment with the learnings of those critics is the best way to reveal good ideas and harvest more to try.
Building the achievements physically from the things are done and intellectually from the creation process is great. But the greatest part is, relative to work, even that couple of weeks, months, or even years may seem a long time in our current fast paced world; they are mostly short times in a person's life that may give birth to great appreciation for a good part of that same life. When I start and keep it consistent, great things happen slowly, steadily but definitely way faster than just spending time to wait, learn or plan it to make it great. Doing those may work better sometimes but definitely not often enough to make it the main way.
