It is not vital to do things perfectly.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good.

Gabriella Quevedo taught herself to play the guitar. Her arrangements are not perfect, but I listen to her covers over the (supposedly perfect) originals.

Her work is ingeniously crafted, and it is perfect for what it is.


She chose a corner of the world which was miniscule in scope. But she discovered it well, and tailored a (metaphorical) suit cut and sewn immaculately.


So don’t hesitate to have your take on things.


What other people did was based on what worked for them; you do what works for you.

And as she (Quevedo) said,


Work hard.


And believe in yourself.


B


Pressurizing yourself over tasks unfinished/ not taken up yesterday does not help. You should work for today, for the hour.

And build on..

What is missed is gone; it is out of sight, dump it out of your mind.


Today is a new day.


It is king..


C


If you Really want to learn something, You Will learn it. It’s just that you may have to repeat it a few times

It could just take a Little More Time,

which will only deepen your concepts.


And make you adapt


In order to conquer the fortress of your choosing.

It’s not about being scared.

It is what you do when you are scared.

It may hold you back; you may delay action.

But even if there is a delay, and you go through with the measures some time afterwards, it’s still a triumph.

Remember, being scared is not a problem; the negative inward dialogue is not a problem.

But giving up is..

.. it definitely is.


So give yourself credit for sticking through

, even as the staggered period of inaction came with opportunity costs..
