“Don't be a perfectionist, because perfectionists often spend too much time on little differences at the margins at the expense of other big, important things. Be an effective imperfectionist. Solutions that broadly work well (e.g., how people should contact each other in the event of crises) are generally better than highly specialized solutions (e.g., how each person should contact each other in the event of every conceivable crisis).” PeopleLifeShouldWellsLittlesPersonsImportantBigsGrowthDifferencesToo MuchEventsSolutionsCrisisImportant ThingsPersonal GrowthInvestingContactExpensesMarginsPerfectionist Author:Ray Dalio

“I had to imagine myself into certain aspects of [Julian Assange] character for our version of events. That involved extrapolating based on clues in his biography, his public persona, photographs, and other accounts of him by people who encountered him during that extraordinary period from 2007 to 2010 that we charted in the film [The Fifth Estate]. So, it involved a lot of research but, sadly, no contact with the man himself.” PeopleMenCharacterFilmCertainImagineEventsHe ManInvolvedPeriodsResearchAspectAccountsExtraordinaryPhotographVersionsContactEstatesBiographiesClueFifthPersonaAssange Author:Benedict Cumberbatch
