The beginning is the most important part of the job - Plato
Nothing gets done until you take that first step, you cannot go for a ride until you turn the key in the ignition. The most important part of doing any task is the first step. You cannot accomplish anything without getting started. When you take that first step to complete a task, you make it real. You pull it into reality. Without initiating action, the task remains undone. The beginning sets the stage for the rest of the project so it is important to start, but more importantly to start in the right frame of mind. When, you start right, you end right.
The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion - Paulo Coelho
Only action result in change, not a viewpoint. Words can inspire change but only action delivers change.The saying “you lead by example” underwrites Coelho's statement. Yes, words can inspire and influence change. That is why the work of great philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Lao Tzu, and leaders such as Churchill, Gandhi to mention a few hold such sway today. Powerful words without action remains a sound bite. Just look at the Ten Commandments, without people actioning it, it remains just words. Leading by example, by actioning the change you want is more powerful, as you become the change you want to see. It is true that action speaks louder than words and thus is a powerful tool in bringing about desired change. Change begins in you, so stop talking and start doing. Become the example that others can copy, thereby unleashing actual change, globally.

Making mistakes is part of the learning process. When you attempt to do something for the first time, you are bound to make mistake before you master the process.

Making mistakes are part of the learning process as we learn from our mistakes. Do not to beat yourself up when you make a mistake. Take what you have learnt from it and move on.
