I had never heard that before...it's a great motto!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfec..._enemy_of_good

In my private life I have let the fear of imperfection keep me from many endeavors. And yet, professionally, I had embraced this concept without realizing it.

I've worked in retail advertising for 35 years, where deadlines are short, and most projects have short shelf-lives. Not 100% happy with a graphic, or an audio mix?...I'll get it sorted out for next month's ad.

I did have a long-time client who used to say, "Done is better than good."

I do have a few long-lived projects where I do sweat the details, but thanks to advertising and my 10-years in improvisational theater (improv) I have learned to not let "perfect be the enemy of good" more and more in my private life.

Which also reminds me of two of my personal mottos: "Any ride is better than no ride",

and, "If you are thinking a bout it, you are not pedalling hard enough"...which I shorten to "Pedal harder!"

Thanks [MENTION=497872]GUMK[/MENTION] for helping me put that in perspective (seriously).
