Don't start something that you cannot finish.
Learn a lot about the world and finish things, even if it is just a short story. Finish it before you start something else. Finish it before you start rewriting it. That's really important. It's to find out if you're going to be a writer or not, because that's one of the most important lessons. Most, maybe 90% of people, will start writing and never finish what they started. If you want to be a writer that's the hardest and most important lesson: Finish it. Then go back to fix it.
When you build a building, you finish a building. You don't finish a garden; you start it, and then it carries on with its life. So my analogy was really to say that we composers or some of us should think of ourselves as people who start processes rather than finish them. And there might be surprises.
Science is going to build a base on the Moon! This is a very necessary and a very possible mission! Start and finish! Thousands of problems will arise in this mission, thousands of solutions will be found! Start and finish! Moon is a good hole to enter the blood vessels of the universe. Start and finish!
Writing is not what you start. It's not even what you finish. It's what you start, finish, and put out there for the world to see.
Everyone wants to finish a project they start, but in the world of football, you cannot guarantee anything.
It's so simple really: If you say you're going to do something, do it. If you start something, finish it.
If I start something, I have to finish it. I know that's annoying - it drives my husband mad - but even if something's not going my way, I have to see it through.
If I start something I am going to finish it.
Whenever I start something, I try to finish it.
You finish a project and start looking for something that might interest you. A lot of the films I've made are a reaction to something I've done right before.
I'm not perfect, but I know when I start to do something, I don't like to not finish.
When I start something, I have to finish it, and I'm a super perfectionist, too.
I firmly believe if you start something, you should finish it.
As an athlete, you're brought up with that mentality that you finish everything you start. If you're going to start a meal, you're going to finish it until the plate is clean. I had to change that mentality to one of where, 'I eat until I'm full and leave the rest.'
I'm astounded whenever I finish something. Astounded and distressed. My perfectionist instinct should inhibit me from finishing; it should inhibit me from even beginning. But I get distracted and start doing something. What I achieve is not the product of an act of my will but of my will's surrender. I begin because I don't have the strength to think; I finish because I don't have the courage to quit. This book is my cowardice.
Once you start something, finish it. Don't accumulate a backlog of unfinished projects.
