# Learn to embrace imperfection Embrace imperfection. Accept that your first iteration may not be perfect. Consider each piece of work as a starting point. Unless if you create rockets for the NASA, your first "version" doesn't have to be perfect. Just look at SpaceX. How many rockets did they fail to launch? Did it stop them? No. Yes, it could have, but it didn't. One thing is for sure. If they kept delaying their launches, their company would be long gone by now. Instead of trying to design the perfect thing before launching it, they pushed the button, watched it explode, and learned from their mistakes. > [[Normalize imperfection.
