"من الأفضل القيام بشيء بشكل غير كامل على عدم القيام بأي شيء بشكل تام"

Simplified Meaning:

It's better to try and make mistakes than to avoid doing anything at all because you're scared of not being perfect. Imagine you want to learn to cook. If you wait until you know everything perfectly, you'll never get started. But if you jump in and cook a simple meal, even if it's not perfect, you still learn and improve. In life, taking action, even if it’s not perfect, helps you grow and gain experience. For example, if an artist only paints when they believe they can create a masterpiece, they might never paint at all. However, by painting often, even if some paintings are flawed, their skills will improve over time. This idea encourages us to be brave and start working towards our goals, even if we're unsure or afraid of making mistakes. It's through these attempts, and occasional failures, that we make progress and learn. So, whenever you feel stuck because you're worried about not being perfect, remember that starting and learning as you go is better than not acting at all.
