No excuse, just own it

I'am as guilty of this then anybody: looking for excuses. Not so much before others but before myself. "If I only had this other camera/great piece of software/whatever I could have done this. Of course this way it wasn't even worth trying." Obviously whenever the second part of that reasoning comes out you have already lost, you have kept yourself from even trying, thus failing instantly without learning anything instead of at least failing a little later and learning something - or not failing at all.

Just putting this out there.
