"Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly"

  Fantastic quote, thanks.

  I like this one: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

    Whenever I hear this saying, even though I know it’s sort of pedantic, I can’t help but wonder: but what about 19 years and 364 days ago?
    • yetihehe 7y ago
      19 years and 364 days ago was about 1.000137 best time (considering 20 years ago was best time 1 and now is best time 2). I know it's not preciser enough, but more pedantic answer requires more precise definition of "now" and "20 years ago".

      I'm so glad you posted this—I have the same problem with this aphorism. I'm craving a more precise way to express this idea. Maybe "it would have been better to start five minutes ago, but starting now is better than starting in five more minutes."
