How often do we say, “If only I had known then what I know now?” Pirkei Avot, Ethics of our Fathers 4:20 teaches “Rabbi Elazar Ben Azariah would say, anyone whose wisdom exceeds their deeds, to what can they be compared? To a tree with many branches but few roots, easily overturned by the wind…But anyone whose deeds exceed their wisdom, to what can they be compared? To a tree with few branches but many roots, firmly entrenched…so too with a person whose deeds are greater than their wisdom, their learning will endure.”
There’s a time for learning, and a time for action. Just do it!
