"To do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in, and scramble through as well as we can."

NIKE - Just do it!
I think it is interesting to see the conflict between this and the idea of always putting in 100% into anything you do. Instead just try it, whether you are ready or not, and whether you can give it your all or not.
However you never know if you can fly if you don't jump off the hill.
"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down."
-Ray Bradbury
