The asterisk

How prominent is the asterisk in the work you do? How much time do you spend apologizing for the flaws and pointing out the shortcomings?

Here’s an invitation: stop. Everyone deals with limitations and constraints. Time, resources, skill ... there’s rarely as much as we’d want.

But you don’t have to apologize. You don’t need a footnote saying, “This is the best I could do given the challenges I faced.”

Do your best. Be your best. Ship your best. No apologies.

Besides: tomorrow’s work will be even better.
