文化背景
The phrase reflects the 'Meister-Lehrling' (Master-Apprentice) tradition where years of difficult practice are expected before one is considered an expert. In Austria, the phrase is sometimes delivered with a bit of 'Wiener Schmäh' (Viennese sarcasm), implying that life is generally hard, so one might as well get used to it. The Swiss value precision. Here, the phrase might be used to emphasize that the 'Anfang' must be done correctly, even if it is difficult, to ensure a good result. In German startups, this phrase is often used to normalize the 'fail fast' mentality, though it's more about 'persist through the fail' than just failing.
