There is a proverb in go: “Lose your 100 first games as fast as possible”, mostly because there is little use in making plans before you have some sort of intuition of what’s going on on the board. So if you just play and lose without thinking too much about it, you get to the fun part faster.
Thank you, I’ve been trying to remember the actual wording of that proverb. A Go player told it to me years ago and it’s nice to remember whenever I’m new to, and sucking at, anything. “This is a necessary frustrating hard part; keep going and you’ll move through it.”

Nice quote. My interest in playing Go has been rekindled, thank you, and I agree with Relsqui that it applies to many contexts.
