The trick of it all, he says, is to tell people "don't worry about the quality" - and somehow, magically, this actually makes the quality come. Okay - forget about the training for brain surgery, for architecture, for carpentry. Don't worry if you don't know how to operate on a man, or design a house, or build a shelf. Just go ahead and do it. If the patient dies, the house falls down or the shelf collapses chalk it up to experience and go collar another patient to practice on.
