If you have time to plan, mistakes can be reduced. Without that time, take action - just do it. Hesitation or inaction may rob you of the opportunity.
Some people resist action out of shyness or fear of judgment. They allow the opinions of others to supersede their own. Other people will think all sorts of things based on their perspectives, prejudices, and ignorance, but what you think about yourself is most important. Wasted time considering possible repercussions can limit communication and active participation.
Caution may be necessary in some situations, but don't make that an excuse. Be brave, take chances, and don't fear making mistakes. You can learn from them, ask for forgiveness when necessary, and try again. It has been said that not making a decision is a decision.
When you don't have the luxury of time, when you feel the need to act or react, let your experience and instincts spur you forward. The risk of making a mistake may be smaller than you expect. Be willing to take that risk so you can make the most of your opportunities.
