No fair announcing that you're good at starting things. The world is looking for people who are good at polishing them until they work.

If your doctor doesn't look at your lack of stroke recovery and acknowledge that something needs to change then you have an idiot for a doctor. Every single stroke doctor in the world should be looking at what needs to change in stroke recovery to get to 100%. But no, we have stroke associations that don't even acknowledge that eveything in stroke is a failure. And with that fucked up thinking we will never get to better stroke recovery.
Another great Seth Godin post.

Writing the first draft of a computer program is easy. It's the testing that separates the professional from a mere hack. Test and then, of course, make it better.
The same thing is true with:
  • Restaurant recipes
  • Essays
  • Web user interface
  • Customer service
  • Management techniques
  • Licensing agreements
  • Strategy
  • Relationships of all kinds
  • Stroke recovery(my add)
The reason it's so difficult to test and improve is that it requires you to acknowledge that your original plan wasn't perfect. And to have the humility and care to go ahead and fix it.
