"Mieux vaut fait que parfait"
— Sheryl Sandberg

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes it's better to finish a task than to keep working on it until it's perfect. Trying to make something flawless can take too much time and stop you from moving forward. For example, if you're writing an essay, you could spend hours finding the perfect words, but it's more important to finish and submit your work on time. In history, many inventors and entrepreneurs, like Thomas Edison, made progress by creating things that were good enough to work, even if they weren't perfect. You can apply this idea by setting a deadline for your work and sticking to it, rather than getting stuck trying to make everything perfect. This way, you'll accomplish more and keep improving over time.
