It could also be summed up as "shit or get off the pot." The same situation arises in every aspect of human existence - there are people who read muscle magazines all day long but never got the the gym, and people who read 100 real estate books and never buy an investment property. Ira's point is good, but seems tangential. It assumes you've done something, and it's a plea not to quit just because you aren't the best... yet. I swear I've heard it before, in some maxim like "our taste always exceeds our art," but I can't find a source.
