How can a man know himself? He is a thing dark and veiled; and if the hare has seven skins, man can slough off seventy times seven and still not be able to say: ‘This is really you, this is no longer outer shell.’

On a personal note, I've noticed that perfectionism often disintegrates into frustration and ineptitude.
Even though I usually commend perfectionism as the human tendency that drives us beyond the limits of what's possible and attainable, but there's always a very delicate balance before perfectionism turns into paralysis and despair.

It's usually better to do something half-way than to wait for a "suitable moment."

Scattered and Paralyzed
The internet seems to act like a prism, scattering our attention in a hundred different directions. First, this is translated into a healthy dose of curiosity and a broader view of the world. But, over time and surreptitiously, one finds that the prism scatters one's attention beyond the wavelengths of curiosity and into those of distraction and confusion; a thousand winds now blow in his sail, and the ship of knowledge roams aimlessly and without a compass the uncharted seas of information.
It's not uncommon today to find young people with wide ranges of interest; physics, history, philosophy, biology, poetry, art, literature, and every other thing under the sun. And one is tempted to believe that this indicates a great potential and a cosmopolitan mind. Sometimes this is surely correct, but oftentimes it's a symptom of disorientation and an indicator that this young man will grow up finding himself a jack of all trades, and a master of none.

This is another way in which one procrastinates: when one's mind is scattered, one's will becomes paralyzed; the figurative muscles twitch and contract, each fiber in a different rhythm and direction... Then paralysis ensues, not because he can't move his muscles, but because the moves are frantic and disorganized, then it's right to say that he has a spastic paralysis of the will.
In the past the man has been first, in the future the system must be first.
