“It doesn’t have to be perfect, Rees”

—

That’s what my psychology teacher said when he noticed I was taking notes with an anal retentive fervour for order and beauty.

He was right.

Perfection is not only unattainable, it’s undesirable. It stifles creative projects. Character is removed in pursuit of an impossible ideal and often replaced with nothingness. The concept of perfection is an illusive moving target, not to mention incredibly subjective.

Do your best and move on! We all want more talent than we currently possess. Acquiring it requires more than ambition; It requires boatloads of patience.
