“If you put off everything till you're sure of it you'll never get anything done”

Norman Vincent Peale

Simplified Meaning:

When you wait until you are completely confident or certain about something, you won't get much accomplished in life. Think about it like this: if you want to learn how to ride a bike but keep putting it off because you are afraid of falling, you will never actually learn to ride. The key to achieving things is to start taking action, even if you don't feel completely ready. For example, many successful inventors and entrepreneurs began their projects without knowing all the answers, and they learned and improved along the way. If you want to bake a new recipe but hesitate because you worry it won't turn out perfectly, you will never know if you can make a delicious dish. In other words, taking the first step, even with uncertainty, is crucial for progress and success in any area of life.
