Their creator came up with this phrase while learning skating skills valuable in Roller Derby (trying to master transitions aka mowhawks), so a shout out of love to the fun learning environments of Potential Fresh Meat and Rat City’s Recreational Program. She’s in awe and terror of figure skaters who learn how to do this stuff without ALL THE PROTECTIVE GEAR.
If this comic doesn’t make sense to you you might want to read comic 85 “try” first.
Sometimes it takes a lot of beating your head against the wall before you get anywhere. I’m still trying to master mohawks and frustrated by my slow developing skills and mental discipline (why can’t I do all the things now! Practicing is hard!)
This was inspired by a number of recent events where I’ve encountered folks not wanting to do stuff because they might get it wrong/not get things right the first time. Fear is the mind killer. It’s easy to be scared, but sometimes you just have to take risks and remember it’s a first draft. A first draft is essential if you want to have a second draft.
