"业余爱好者等待灵感；专业人士知道开始后灵感就会来"
— Steven Pressfield
Simplified Meaning:
People who are not used to doing something often wait to feel inspired before they begin. They think they need a special feeling or moment to motivate them. On the other hand, experienced people understand that this special feeling usually comes after they begin working. For example, a new writer might wait for a perfect idea before they start writing, thinking that inspiration will just appear out of nowhere. In contrast, a professional writer starts writing even if they don’t feel inspired initially, trusting that ideas and creativity will flow once they’re engaged in the process. To apply this to your life, don’t wait around for the perfect moment or the perfect idea to start your task; just start working, and the motivation and ideas will come as you go along.
