We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating a perfect love.
One's ability to articulate an idea always lags behind the understanding of the idea, and the understanding of an idea often lags behind the embodiment in which it is first given life. It can take a surprising amount of time to come to understand what a prototype is trying to "say", and longer still to say it oneself.

When I try to make the best thing, it feels different. It feels like I’m trying to prove something to someone instead of trying to discover something for myself. It feels dishonest and disrespectful of where I’m at. I’m not the best, so why should I try to make the best things? I’m just me, so I should make me things.

Epic post on how Nike lost $25B in a day by trying to make everything data-driven:
"Nike invested billions into something that was less effective but easier to measure vs something that was more effective but less easy to measure.
In conclusion: an impressive waste of money." https://t.co/YyLH98B0eH
