保罗·格雷厄姆:属于自己的项目·第6则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《属于自己的项目》》· A Project of One's Own · 领导 · 行动 · 人性 · 健康
There are a few people who start too many new projects, but far more, I suspect, who are deterred by fear of failure from starting projects that would have succeeded if they had. But if we couldn't benefit as kids from the knowledge that our treehouses were on the path to grownup projects, we can at least benefit as grownups from knowing that our projects are on a path that stretches back to treehouses. Remember that careless confidence you had as a kid when starting something new? That would be a powerful thing to recapture. If it's harder as adults to retain that kind of confidence, we at least tend to be more aware of what we're doing. Kids bounce, or are herded, from one kind of work to the next, barely realizing what's happening to them.

白话
确实有人启动太多新项目,但更多人是因为害怕失败而不敢开始那些本会成功的项目。小时候搭树屋时那种不计后果的自信,其实很宝贵。成年后,我们至少能意识到自己在做什么,而孩子往往被推着走。所以,不妨回想童年那种“先干了再说”的劲头,把它找回来。开始新项目时,别让对失败的恐惧挡住你,先迈出第一步,边做边学。

你因为害怕失败而搁置了哪个项目?如果像孩子搭树屋那样先动手,会怎样?
