“It takes a long time to get good at something, so it's important to begin as early as possible so that we can improve and begin to see the compounding benefits of the work over time”
— Priscilla Chan
Simplified Meaning:
Mastering a skill or becoming really good at something requires a lot of time and effort. You can't become an expert overnight. Starting early means you have more time to practice and get better. Think of learning to play a musical instrument. If you begin when you're young, you have many years to practice, make mistakes, and get better. Over time, all the practice pays off, and you might become very good at it. The earlier you start, the more progress you can make, and the benefits of your hard work will grow and become more noticeable. So, if there's something you want to be good at, begin as soon as you can to give yourself the best chance to succeed.
