- Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 158 You can't do it without a manual
You can't do it without a manual
When given a new project, many people are often saying that they don't know how to do it or that they have never done it before. In short, it's the idea that you can't do something new.
Many things in this world do not have a manual. If you think that you can't do something because you have never done it before or because there is no manual, you are saying that you have no room to grow. It is important to challenge yourself in any way you can. It is also important to learn by doing and to write down what you have learned as a manual to pass on to future generations.
Sometimes saying no because you can't do it or don't know how to do it is not necessarily the wrong response. If you were to ask me to run a marathon, I would say, "I can't do it." It's not that I'm wrong for not taking on the challenge, but it's an error in judgment on the part of the person who asked me to run the marathon.
If it's not such an obvious mistake, I think it's important to challenge yourself even if you fail. And more importantly, you should clarify what went wrong and how it went wrong. That way, others won't have to make the same mistakes over and over again.
There is no manual for everything, it's your challenge to create one.
