When does this rule apply?

It doesn’t apply to friends. We all have companions that upset us.

It doesn’t apply to learning a skill. We all understand professionals started somewhere.

It doesn’t apply to anything we’ve ever purchased. We all accept that things will break.

Yet, it’s a rule that fuels our excuses for not starting anything. There are very few cases where perfection is the prerequisite for action. On the other hand, action is often the biggest prerequisite for perfection.

If you are looking for inaction, look for perfect.
