“If people knew how hard I worked to achieve my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful after all.” - Michelangelo

Commentary: One common thing about people who master a skill is that though they may make it look easy, nobody sees the thousands of hours practicing, refining, studying and hard work.

“Don’t worry, be crappy. Revolutionary means you ship and then test… Lots of things made the first Mac in 1984 a piece of crap - but it was a revolutionary piece of crap.” ~ Guy Kawasaki  

Commentary:

I think it is a myth that a new product that will solve problems or fill a need (especially a technology product) must be perfect before you launch it. Modern experience is showing that may not be true - lots of great products were buggy at first, incomplete when first launced: MySpace.com, Google, Xbox 360, etc. The key is to launch but then improve based on user-feedback.
