Why did you create this silly page?

Because everyone does things badly. No, really. Everyone. No baby is born speaking their native language. No adult without supervision or instruction, gets every aspect of every new task perfectly.

Are there things that people naturally do well? Even exceptionally well?

Of course.

But most of us, most of the time, start out doing things badly. Our attempts are flawed, we don't have the skills and training that are necessary for perfection, or even for good quality.

We've been taught by society that there is only room in this world for the best.

That is wrong.

We start crawling before we walk, and we walk before we run. Amazing work comes with practice, and lots of it.

But even if we never run, progress is progress.

And the really great part? You don't ever have to be good. You only have to try it. Tried something new and loved it? Great! Do it more because it makes you happy!

Tried it and hated it? Cool. You learned something, even if you only learned that you hate the thing. Now you know not to invest your energy there.

See? Doing things badly is good! It teaches you, and it's a start.

So go forth and do things badly!

and if you want to, you can go to the forums or groups and share your efforts with like-minded people. I urge you to share your failures as well as your successes. We learn so much from failure, both our own and others'.
