来自GPT-4翻译：

首先去做，然后做对，最后做得更好。

就从现在开始吧。成功之旅往往始于第一步，而那第一步往往是最难迈出的。害怕失败或渴望完美很容易让人陷入困境，但我希望我在2013年首次分享的这句话能够提醒我们，随着我们进入2024年，开始行动的重要性。

从某处开始吧

"如果需要，就慢慢开始。如果需要，就小规模开始。如果需要，就私下开始。但务必要开始。" - 詹姆斯·克利尔

迈出第一步不需要完美，也不需要立即精通。关键是要克服惯性并采取行动，因为这种行动将导致进步、学习，以及（如果你幸运且持之以恒的话）最终的成功。

当你开始时，你就给自己提供了成长、适应和前进的机会。

开始的力量

开始一个新项目或习惯往往感到令人望而生畏。心理学家说，我们倾向于高估开始的痛苦，低估我们的持之以恒的能力。

然而，研究表明，与最初的热情或早期进展相比，"小起步"更能预测最终的成功。这种现象被称为新起点效应 - 迈出第一步能激励我们并增强动力。

所以，专注于开始，不要给自己完美的压力。进步和途中的修正将随之而来。

首先，去做：拥抱MVP心态

去做=制作出最简单的MVP。

最小可行产品（MVP）（Minimum Viable Product）代表了一个产品或想法的最简单版本，允许你测试、收集反馈并迭代。

通过拥抱这种心态（只是完成一些事情 - 如果是粗糙的，原型的，草稿的也没关系），你专注于进步而不是完美，理解将某些东西推向世界远比等待完美时机更有价值。

扩展你的舒适区

走出舒适区可能会引发对失败的恐惧。迎难而上不仅能够建立信心和技能，研究表明，它使我们更愿意学习。认识到恐惧往往是心灵鼓励我们成长的方式。不要让它阻止你前进。

然后，做对：改进并纠正

去做对=解决正确性问题。

一旦你迈出了第一步，把你的MVP推向世界，现在是时候进行改进和纠正了。这个阶段是从反馈中学习，识别改进领域，并相应地进行调整。

这是在你的想法上迭代的机会，确保它满足你的受众或客户的需求，同时与你的愿景保持一致。

培养好奇心和韧性

带着好奇心和韧性迎接新挑战，使我们走出舒适区更可持续和愉悦。培养对成长机会的好奇心和迎接它们的能力。设置小挑战，逐步扩展你的视野。

面对不可避免的挫折时，避免自我批评，调动韧性 -恢复、学习和继续前进的能力。

自我同情、适应性和保持视角在这里是关键。通过不断努力，你会对自己开始、跌倒、学习并朝向掌握的能力建立信心。

最后，做得更好：力求持续改进

"做得更好=迭代朝向理想的最终状态（例如，使其更快）。"

旅程并不止于仅仅做对。

最后一步是持续改进，追求卓越和成长。

通过迭代朝向理想的最终状态，你表现出对进步的承诺，确保你的产品、想法或项目保持相关性、创新性和成功。

设定新的目标

随着你的进步，要清楚地知道何时“完成”，或者更新你的目标。顶级运动员通过小幅度改进的累积获得竞争优势。识别潜在的改进领域，并设定可衡量的挑战性目标，从提高效率到增强用户愉悦度。

克服进步的最大障碍

"进步的最大障碍不是资源或才能的缺乏，而是对失败的恐惧。"

认识到对失败的恐惧是追求成功中最重要的障碍，可以让你直面它。

通过承认这种恐惧，你可以专注于迈出第一步，知道一旦开始，就会变得更容易维持动力。

请记住，开始是战斗的一半以上。不要等到你觉得准备好了，因为完美的时刻可能永远不会到来。

最重要的一点

与其努力追求完美的执行，不如拥抱开始的力量 - 提出一个MVP，软启动一个计划，或设定一个里程碑。进步会带来动力。通过简单地开始，你就为成长和创新敞开了大门。其余的将会随之而来。

拥抱开始的力量，然后迭代，直到你满意为止。

"First do it, then do it right, then do it better."

Just start. The journey to success often begins with a single step, but that first step can be the hardest to take. It's easy to get caught up in the fear of failure or the desire for perfection, but I hope this quote I first shared in 2013 can be a reminder of the importance of simply getting started as we go into 2024.

Just Start Somewhere

"Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to. Just start." - James Clear

Taking that first step doesn't require perfection or immediate mastery. The key is to overcome inertia and take action, as this action will lead to progress, learning, and (if you’re lucky and consistent) ultimately success.

When you start, you allow yourself the opportunity to grow, adapt, and move forward.

The Power of Starting

Beginning a new project or habit often feels daunting. According to psychologists, we tend to overestimate the pain of starting and underestimate our ability to persist.

However, studies show that "small starts" predict eventual success better than initial enthusiasm or early progress. This phenomenon is known as the fresh start effect - taking the first step energizes us and bolsters motivation.

So focus on starting without putting pressure on perfection. Progress and course corrections will follow.

First, Do It: Embrace the MVP Mindset

Doing it = get the simplest MVP out.

A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) represents the simplest version of a product or idea that allows you to test, gather feedback, and iterate.

By embracing this mindset (just get something done - it's OK if rough, a prototype, a draft), you focus on progress over perfection, understanding that getting something out into the world is far more valuable than waiting for the perfect moment.

Expand Your Comfort Zone

Venturing outside one's comfort zone can elicit fears of failure. Leaning into discomfort not only builds confidence and skills, but research shows it makes us more receptive to learning. Recognize that fear is often the mind's way of urging us to grow. Don't let it stop you from progressing.

Then, Do It Right: Refine and Correct

Doing it right = fix correctness issues.

Once you've taken that first step and put your MVP out into the world, it's time to refine and correct. This stage is about learning from feedback, identifying areas of improvement, and making adjustments accordingly.

It's a chance to iterate on your idea, ensuring that it meets the needs of your audience or customers while aligning with your vision.

Cultivate Curiosity and Resilience

Meeting new challenges with curiosity and resilience makes venturing outside our comfort zone more sustainable and enjoyable. Cultivate curiosity about growth opportunities and your capacity to rise to them. Set mini-challenges to incrementally expand your horizons.

When facing inevitable setbacks, avoid self-criticism and tap into resilience - the ability to recover, learn and continue progressing.

Self-compassion, adaptability and maintaining perspective are key here. With consistent effort, you build confidence in your ability to start, stumble, learn and work toward mastery.

Finally, Do It Better: Strive for Continuous Improvement

"Doing it better = iterate towards an ideal end-state (e.g., make it fast)."

The journey doesn't end with merely doing it right.

The final step is to continuously improve, striving for excellence and growth.

By iterating towards an ideal end-state, you demonstrate a commitment to progress, ensuring that your product, idea, or project remains relevant, innovative, and successful.

Set New Goalposts

As you improve, have a clear idea of when you are “done” or update your goalposts. Elite athletes turn small gains into competitive edges via the aggregation of marginal gains. Identify areas of potential improvement and set measurable stretch goals, from increasing efficiency to enhancing user delight.

Overcoming the Greatest Barrier to Progress

"The greatest barrier to progress is not lack of resources or talent, but fear of failure."

Recognizing that fear of failure is the most significant obstacle in the pursuit of success allows you to confront it head-on.

By acknowledging this fear, you can focus on taking that first step, knowing that once the ball starts rolling, it becomes much easier to keep it in motion.

Remember that starting is more than half the battle. Don't wait until you feel ready, because the perfect moment may never come.

The Bottom Line

Rather than striving for perfect execution, embrace the power of starting - put forth an MVP, soft launch an initiative, or set a milestone. Progress begets motivation. By simply starting, you open the door to growth and innovation. The rest will follow.

Embrace the power of starting and then iterating until you're happy.
