Start today. Refine tomorrow.

By Niyaz PK under General

If you are waiting for the perfect moment to start or the perfect product to start with, my bets are that you will keep on waiting for ever.

Quality is important when there is enough of quantity.

If you have not yet started doing something, start doing it and then think about making it better.

Think about the quality of your articles only after you start writing. Before that your concern should be about starting. Think about scaling your web application after you get enough traffic. Before that think of ways to get good traffic.

With this I announce the opening of Kerala, a website/blog which I will be co-authoring. We intend to open it to all bloggers soon. We are working on the details.

So I started something; what have you done today?

    that is so true…..starting trouble is a very bad virtue. There have been a milion ideas on our minds burnt off at initiation stage itself, only to find someone else doing it profitably :(

    Anand,

    Ideas are worth nothing without proper execution.

    The site is up and running even though we experienced small glitches in the beginning. Thanks for your concern.

    I did not start anything today, but I released a new Javascript framework this week. I think that counts :-)

    And nice site – I have subscribed.

    It seems you are a sort of JavaScript guru now !!!

    Great post and cool URL for Kera.la. I’m not from Kerala (or India for that matter), but I’ll be sure to point a few of my friends who are from Kerala in your direction.

    (…and you just got another new subscriber.)
