If you start without the instructions (while the instructions are sitting right there) and you mess up…you look like an idiot.
If you start without instructions because there aren’t any instructions and you mess up…you’re off the hook since everyone agrees there should have been instructions.
If you start without instructions or with the instructions and someone comes along who has built the thing you’re wanting to build, it’s a good idea to listen.
Most of what we’re all building doesn’t have instructions.
So sometimes you’re going to look like an idiot.
People will always be willing to let you off the hook.
It’s worth listening to the people who have built what you’re building.
***A bit behind the curtain for those curious…
The only thing I had was for this post before today was the title. But it seemed like a good title in light of all the toys that have needed assembly in the last couple days.
So I pasted the title into Text Edit, figuring if I began the physical act of writing the first sentence, the rest would come.
It did.
Didn’t have instructions.
