“You have to finish things - that's what you learn from, you learn by finishing things”

Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:

If you want to really learn or become good at something, you need to complete it. Imagine trying to bake a cake but giving up halfway through. You wouldn’t understand what the final cake looks or tastes like, or learn what mistakes you made and how to fix them next time. In the same way, when you finish a project, whether it’s a school assignment, a work task, or a personal goal, you get to see the whole process, understand what works, and improve your skills. By seeing things through to the end, you gain experience and knowledge that you can’t get if you leave things unfinished. Next time you're faced with a task, focus on completing it, because that's where real learning and growth happen.
