“If somebody can do something 80 percent as good as you think you would have done it, then you’ve got to let it go”
— Sara Blakely
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you love doing a task perfectly, like baking a cake. You always make sure each step is just right so the cake turns out amazing. But sometimes, letting someone else help can save you time and energy. If someone can bake the cake almost as well as you—say, 80% as good—it's okay to let them help instead of doing everything yourself. In a busy kitchen, the head chef might want everything to be perfect. But if the sous-chef can make a dish almost as well, the head chef has to trust them and focus on other important tasks. This way, everything gets done quicker, and the restaurant runs smoothly. In your own life, it's about trusting others and not insisting everything has to be done perfectly your way. It makes things less stressful for you and helps others learn and contribute. So, by allowing others to help even if they aren’t perfect, you can accomplish more in less time.
