Try it.
This 1932 quote from FDR may be about the U.S., but it stands as pretty good personal advice too!
The country needs, and unless I mistake its temper, the country demands, bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it; if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

I dreamt of Bruce Forsyth last night.
He was out of his natural habitat.
Some producers had moved him from the studio
To a live link up from a supermarket somewhere in Manchester.

That he had won the jackpot of an exciting competition.
The prize was about thirty thousand pounds.
The young boisterous salt-of-the-earth...

You have my permission to burn it when you’re done.
You have my permission to start something, forget about it, ...
