El perfeccionismo es la voz del opresor

by Tomy Pelluz on enero 8, 2012

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive believe that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won’t have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren’t even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have lot more fun while they’re doing it.

Indeed, the perfectionism is oppressing free thinking, it´s just like an obsession, a burden.
80% good is as far as perfectionism should go to keep one sane.
