Don't let the perfect be the enemy of good 不要让自己对完美的不切实际的预期 阻碍自己做事

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of good 不要钻牛角尖，让自己对完美的不切实际的预期 阻碍自己做事。这话来源于 Perfect is the enemy of good 

The 80/20 rule explains this numerically. For example, it takes 20% of the full time to complete 80% of a task while to complete the last 20% of a task takes 80% of the effort. Achieving absolute perfection may be impossible and so, as increasing effort results in diminishing returns, further activity becomes increasingly inefficient.

Trying to make something perfect can actually prevent us from making it just good. Perfection in its elusive glory is like a unicorn. Sure, it sounds great, but who has actually seen one? I’d rather ride a real horse than wait for an imagined unicorn. 子曰：宁做有瑕玉，不做无瑕石，就是这个意思。

If you can’t achieve perfection, don’t sweat it. Go for good instead. Instead of pushing yourself to an impossible perfect, and therefore getting nowhere, accept good. Many things worth doing are worth doing imperfectly.

However, many high-achieving people are perfectionists.
