“Look at writing, like riding a bicycle for the first time. In the beginning, you will make plenty of mistakes, get your knee discoloured, and your skin chopped a few times. Perhaps a dozen times, and it is nothing strange. The fact is you are a newcomer. The relationship between the crank, pedal, handlebar, brake lever, and everything else that goes into riding a bicycle, you do not understand yet. Still, that does not mean you cannot ride one. With a little more practice and grit, you will gain mastery in riding a bicycle. The same process goes with any human activity – singing, cooking, plumbing, etc.”

What ends up happening to them is that they do not create decent work.”
