I believe perfectionism is incredibly bad. I'm working on overcoming the urge to be perfect. Here is a good story I once heard...
A high school ceramics class was divided into two halves.
One half was graded based on the quality of their work, but they could only create one single piece all semester. The better quality, the better grade they were given.
The other half was graded on the weight of their work, and they had to make as many pieces as possible. The more combined weight, the better grade they were given.
At the end of the semester, the half that was graded based on weight has the best quality pieces of the class.
They theory was starting and failing so many times over and over again taught them what to do and what not to do, instead of guessing what to do and what not to do.
