Hi ,
Over the past 20+ years, The Fast and the Furious movies have evolved into one of the most successful franchises in cinematic history - with each new entry
seemingly trying to outdo the ones that went before.
Yet, if you go back and watch the series from the beginning, you'll find some of the early entries aren't all that good at all.
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, for example, the third Fast and Furious movie, is a movie so bad it would undoubtedly be long forgotten, were it not for its connection to the franchise.
But
despite not wanting to rewatch it, I'm glad Tokyo Drift exists. Because it was a necessary iteration to bring the series to where it is today.
Here's the thing...
The first model you produce to solve a problem is unlikely to produce the best results. And chances are the second and third won't be much better, either.
Yet, these are necessary iterations
to bring you to the model that is optimal for the task.
Few people are capable of achieving brilliance the first time around - and those who have, probably just got lucky.
Rather, most of the time, it's necessary to start with a sub-optimal result and iterate to something better.
You can't take 20 steps in one go. But you can take them one at a time.
Talk again soon,
Dr Genevieve Hayes.
