Re:Ask HN: What is your favorite motto?

"Are you moving one step in 20 directions or 20 steps in one direction?"
So what if I'm moving one step in 20 directions but I'm enjoying each one of them? Isn't preferrable to enjoy the journey and never reaching nowhere rather than reaching your destination whatever it takes on each step? :D

If your goal is simply "enjoy the journey" then yes that's fine - you're successful in what you're trying to do.
The analogy is useful when someone's goal is "start a business" but shiny object syndrome keeps them from focusing on actually starting the business.
