Do It

"Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works.
You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it.
Then you do something else. The trick is to do something else."
Leonardo da Vinci

This is why it's so important to take action. If you never do anything, you will never learn what fails and what works. Most of what you do will fail, but that's okay. You still need to do it in order to find out what won't work. Sometimes other people can tell you what won't work, but sometimes the only way to really know is to do it yourself.

Naturally, when you find something that works, you will do more of it. You will learn why it works and then how to get things to work in similar situations. And if it works very well, it will work for other people who will be inspired to copy you.

Then you try something new. You don't want to keep doing the same thing all your life, no matter how well it works. You want to find other things that work too. After all the more, and the more varied things you have done that work, the better for everyone. It requires the realization that you were not meant to do only one thing, you were meant to do as many things in as many ways as possible. You never reach your full potential, and certainly not after only your first success. You can never have too much success, or in too many areas. Do something else. Try something new.
