"做得不好总比不做好"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes it's more important to try something and make mistakes than to do nothing because you're scared of failing. Imagine you want to learn how to cook. The first few times you try, the food might not taste very good. But each time you cook, you learn something new, like how to chop vegetables better or season the food. If you never started because you were afraid of messing up, you would never get the chance to improve. This same idea works in many parts of life. For example, learning a new language might be difficult and you might make a lot of mistakes. However, those mistakes help you get better over time. By trying and not worrying too much about doing it perfectly, you give yourself the opportunity to grow and learn. So, don't be afraid to make a start, even if you think you'll do a poor job at first. With practice, you’ll get better, and it's much better than not trying at all.
