Do 1,000 Things Badly
Do 1,000 related things badly, eventually, somewhere along the way, without knowing it, you’ll be doing all of them really damn well.
Do the same thing 1,000 times, you’ll end up doing one bad thing really well.
You cannot skip ahead to doing the 1,000th thing pretty damn well. You might find a few shortcuts and skip three or four every now and again.
Natural talent might let you skip ahead at the start, but sheer hard work will make you better than someone who relies solely on a gift.
