You will never finish if you don't start

You will never finish if you don't start

It’s a self defining term if you see really speaking. The implication of the saying is don’t start doing something, if you haven’t worked out what materials you need, what processes you have to follow, what sequence you have to do things in, how long it’s going to take you, how much it’s going to cost, whether you have the necessary skill to do it, and some of these things may not matter depending on what you are doing, but investigation and preparation before will always help prevent problems, delays, or not being able to complete the task.

Another common way of expressing the same principle is the “7 P’s”as used by the UK military guys: “Prior Preparation and Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance”. Your ability to let go, and thereby knowing when “enough is enough” - but that does not mean that you should not find out the most you can about the things that really interest you. Immanuel Kant was a philosopher who thought that the fact that we are human has value in itself and should not be treated as a means to something else. People should be treated as an end in themselves.

In other words, rational people, although they may be different, should be considered on their own merits and not as pawns in a game. People are different, and these differences should not be used against them. Just because you are in a group does not make you right or better, think for your self. We all want to be part of a group, and we feel we belong when we think we share similarities, but the trouble begins when we as a group exclude other groups just because they are not “our” group.

A social psychology test that started with random people guessing how many random dots were on a screen and then randomly told they were high or low separated them into two groups. Guess what happened when each group was told things about the other group? You guessed it; they stuck together as a group even though their entire underlying belief structure was a fiction. The group they thought they were part of was completely random, they didn’t have a common belief, they weren’t all the same or even right, they just stuck together because they were told they were part of a group, a group that was superior to the other group, which made them feel superior.

So the next time you feel superior or better or right, remember the random-dot test. "Means to an end” refers to an action or choice that indirectly effects a desired end result. Suppose you have to go from one place to another, Your ultimate aim is to go to that place and that your end or motive. To achieve your end that is to reach the place, You have to use a Transport like bicycle, car ,train or an aeroplane. and which ever transport you use is called ‘the means’. This concept applies in all cases of action including mathematical and logical reasonings in any field.

The correct phrase is “means to an end” and it describes something (attitude, asset, advantage, etc etc) which makes the difference between achieving and not achieving some goal or “end.” A companion phrase is “the end justifies the means” which is in fact deeply cynical because it is used when the “means” is illegal, immoral, etc. To say that someone has decided that his or her means justified his or her end is to accuse that person of violating the most basic moral code. Slogan is a phrase or sentence being used to promote something- typically in advertising. It is a phrase and the the meaning is as follows: An action or actions that a person had done in order to achieve a particular result. The action itself was not the final goal, but something done to reach a different goal. This is often you used in negative situations. Cheers!
