“I figure that it’s better to be a sucker who makes something than a wise guy who is too cautious to make anything at all.”
It very much frustrates me seeing professionals too timid to click through wizards on something as inconsequential as installing Word. "OK, it says click here to continue. Should I click there?" Even when mentoring new team members, I'm amazed at how afraid they might be to try something in a test environment where they know it doesn't matter if something goes wrong. Sometimes I think I've gotten as far as I have in life because I'm just not afraid to try, and I don't even think of myself as a risk taker.
I don't care if you think of yourself as a sucker or as a wise guy. Just make the damn thing (even if you're making mistakes).
