주요 문장
(1) If you want to get over an obstacle so that your idea can become the solution-based policy you’ve long dreamed of, you can’t have an all‑or‑nothing mentality.
(장애물을 넘어서 꿈에 그리던 해결책 중심의 정책이 될 수 있는 아이디어를 구현하려면, 전부 다 갖거나 아무것도 갖지 않는 사고방식을 가질 수 없다.)
The subject is "you," the verb is "can't have," and the object is "an all-or-nothing mentality." This sentence emphasizes the importance of avoiding an inflexible mindset when pursuing a goal.
(2) But in almost every case, helping move the needle forward is vastly better than not helping at all.
(그러나 거의 모든 경우에, 앞으로 나아가는 것이 전혀 도움을 주지 않는 것보다 훨씬 낫다.)
The subject is "helping move the needle forward," the verb is "is," and the object is "vastly better than not helping at all." This sentence highlights that making progress, even if it's not perfect, is more valuable than not contributing at all.
