Today we continue with the series of quotes on "Perfectionism" that I started a few weeks ago. Today's quote comes from the former COO of Facebook/Meta, Sheryl Sandberg.
It is a quote that you have probably heard before. Heck, I think I mentioned it in the first episode of this series on Perfectionism. However, I thought it was one of those quotes that are by an unknown, anonymous source. But when I Googled the quote, Sheryl Sandberg popped up as the person this quote is most often attributed to.
It may have come from her bestselling book, "Lean In: Women, Work, & the Will to Lead," but I'm not certain of that. (Although I will be finding out because that book is in my stack of books I want to read over the course of the next year)
No matter where she first said it or wrote it, it is an outstanding quote on how perfectionism can paralyze us into doing nothing. You'll understand what I mean by that in the episode. You'll also understand why it was the "perfect" (pun intended!) quote to do for today's episode, in particular.
