Perfectionism Is A Slow Death. If Everything Were To Turn Out Just Like I Would Want It To, Just Like I Would Plan For It To, Then I Would Never Experience Anything New; My Life Would Be An Endless Repetition Of Stale Successes.

And What We Learn To Do-this Is Why It Takes Work-is To Not Reach Out And Grab A Fish.
