Recovered opening
## Be the Starting Point A project does not begin only when everything is ready. A life does not begin only when everything is healed. A responsible builder does not begin only when everything is perfect. A system does not become trustworthy because it claims completion. A vision does not become real because it sounds large. A book does not become true because it is long. An app does not become meaningful because it has many features. AI does not become wise because it speaks fluently. DLAS does not become valid because it sounds deep.
