A collection of various words of wisdom which I think should be remembered.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
How many things haven't been tried because you couldn't guarantee that it would be perfect. Sometimes you just have to jump in and not worry whether it is going to be perfect. It can be good to try anyway and not worry about the mistakes that can be made, obviously you don't want to make things worse but you will always learn from trying and fear is the emotion which makes you make mistakes so banish the fear and get on with it, it'll probably turn out better anyway than if you have it perfect.
The other aspect of perfection is that it eats away at your confidence. Getting out there you are likely to find that you are far from being the worst at a given subject and there are plenty of people who can learn from you.
Practice is also something that is hindered by perfection, accept that you are not perfect yourself and may need many attempts to become proficient.

Watch you don't get what you're asking for..
Physics says there is always a reaction to an action and in life this is also true. Problem in life is that lots of the reactions are unpredictable and not what was intended. Be careful when you manipulate and force your outlook on a situation there will be things which happen which you do not want or need.
It's all about competition
The person who said this was far from being a favourite of mine but later on there are things about it that I now believe. Problem the presentor of the saying had with is that they did not practice what they preached. Reason I now think it is true is that it ...........
If is a very small word with a very big meaning
My Mum used to say this, one of her pearls of wisdom. Good saying, ties in with what I am reading at the moment about Stoicisism they have a few thoughts on that particular subject. You can control what happens now but the past is now out of your control and will fade into the distance eventually. If your problem is what you perceive as a mistake that's as maybe but perceptions can be deceiving so don't let your actions be determined by any failure you feel you have committed. All people make mistakes and if I were to ask someone around me what they remember of all the multitude that have been made I may not even make the top 10. You should be putting yourself into situations where you are stretched and mistakes are put there for you to learn from so learn from them and get on with today's tasks without having the burden of having to convince yourself of your competence. Remember perfect is the enemy of good, things like that are supposed to happen, that's the way the universe works.
"First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak."
Seems to me to be relevant today with so many people picking up on the first thing they see on a website and looking for reinforcement from similar thinking websites. It isn't popular when you decide to ask a question which needs some explaining as it maybe points out that there is more to the subject. Once a view is held it is held as a personal attribute and to be challenged with the view that the problem might be more complicated is often seen as heresy. The approach should be to express your view as a challenge to find the truth or to actually see the original view as a starting point to investigate and mull on all of the possibilities. I could think of some interesting conversations I might have had rather than what actually occurred .
