Quantity over Quality?

Hello all. I have one little thing I got from LinkedIn May 16 that interests me ka. It's written by Daniel Pink about the 'Pottery Class Paradox', which he points out, '.... will change how you think about mastering any skill.'

Here's how the story goes ka.

A ceramics teacher split the class into two groups, Group A's goal is to make a single perfect pot by the end of the semester. and Group B is to make as many pots as possible — quality didn’t matter.

Can you guess what happens at the end of the semester?

All the most creative, beautiful, high-quality pots are from Group B.

The result tells him that Group A obsesses over perfection while Group B is learning by doing....making mistakes and improving fast.B doesn't overthink and so it can excel through practices ka.

Daniel Pink concludes by saying that if we want to get better at skills like writing, coding, etc., don't aim for 'perfect'. Simply do it over and over again....(the tougher part is to 'get started' na ka, I think.

This also leads me to what Adam Grant said in an interview with Stephen Bartlett ka. He said he was trying to excel in the sports he played when he was young. HIs coach told him he would never get to the perfect 10. That has unlocked his thinking and moved on with this mindset ka.

In Japanese culture, when it comes to pottery, they appreciate the work of the creators over imperfection....this too has been what I always have in mind to learn about another aspect of quality.

Quality is great but not always the case when it comes to skill sharpening na ka.

Reading it has changed how you think about mastering any skill mai ka?
