Hello World

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

Hello World,

Sometimes I spend so much time thinking about how to do something just right that I don't realize how much time has gone by and I still haven't even started.

In the words of Paul Halmos, "You think you know how to write Chapter 1, but after you’ve done it and gone on to Chapter 2, you’ll realize that you could have done a better job on Chapter 2 if you had done Chapter 1 differently. There is no help for it but to go back, do Chapter 1 differently, do a better job on Chapter 2, and then dive into Chapter 3. And, of course, you know what will happen: Chapter 3 will show up the weaknesses of Chapters 1 and 2, and there is no help for it ...etc., etc., etc. It’s an obvious idea, and frequently an unavoidable one...". http://www2.math.uu.se/~takis/ETC/Halmos_howToWriteMath.pdf

The part I struggle with the most is moving on to Chapter 2 when I know Chapter 1 isn't perfect; in doing so I never give myself the chance to write Chapters 2, 3, and 4.

Here's to dramatic first Steemit post and seeing what happens.

Cheers!
