doing it wrong

When it comes to writing, things are different. Our written language follows strict rules (which are hundreds of years old) and people love to call you out on it. But these people are really the only obstacle to overcome, nothing else.

I essentially didn’t know how to write, but I still did it. I didn’t know how to design, but I tried it. I was doing it “wrong" for many years (I still do) but I’m doing it — And that’s what counts for me.

Every time someone complains about your writing (or any other) skills you have to understand one thing:

While others are complaining, you just created something
out of nothing — You are one step ahead.

For me, doing it wrong is a gift and there are not many people who have the courage to do it the wrong way. The moment we understand that “the wrong way" just means “our own way" we know we’re on the right path.

As Albert Einstein already said: “The only source of knowledge is experience" — So instead of doing nothing, do it wrong.
