What does it look like when it works?

Before we begin any project, it is helpful to see what it would look like when it works and also, when it doesn't.

If you are preparing for a marathon, would you be happy if you complete the marathon or only if you win the marathon?

In any case, would it make sense to quit the marathon with a few kms left.

Sooner or later, any project would hit a wall, the point where there will be a huge temptation to quit.

And that is the point where it doesn't make much sense to quit.

Anticipating the wall before we get started and decided to go through it before we commit to the project makes it more likely that we will get through the wall and reach the finish line.
