“Start by erring on the small side. If you're inexperienced you'll inevitably err on one side or the other, and if you err on the side of making the goal too broad, you won't get anywhere. Whereas if you err on the small side you'll at least be moving forward. Then, once you're moving, you expand the goal.
首先从较小的错误开始。如果你缺乏经验,你不可避免地会在某一方面犯错,如果你把目标定得过于宽泛,你将无法前进。相反,如果你从较小的错误开始,至少你是在前进。然后,一旦你开始前进,你再扩大目标。”
