I think of it more like the classic half full or half empty glass, but with a little extra twist.
I can’t do anything right and that’s okay because no one can.
I can do things just as good as everyone else.
The first is funny, but it’s a poor excuse to avoid responsibility and accepting that nothing gets done.
The second is better, but it can dangerous if it over promotes self confidence.
It’s a saying that pops into my head whenever I have the option to take responsibility for something. It’s okay to “fake it till you make” if the alternative is worse .
More often than not, taking responsibility for stuff I only barely know about has given me a much better understanding about it than just sitting back and letting some other person half-ass it. It’s very rare that anyone knows everything in advance, and I’d be very cautious when someone claims that they do.
Anyway, this joke has sometimes helped me in those leap of faith situations and it has lead to a positive experience everytime.
