Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
– Dr. David M. Burns
Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault.
– Dr. David M. Burns
Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.
