consistency over perfection: iterate

to break down a mountain, you have to start with the first rock. 

perfectionism is not a good metric of success. nor is intelligence. hard work is because it's consistent

Time inconsistency is the fact that we as humans like to value short term gratification over long term benefits. It's a natural part of us. However by learning to suppress it we can accomplish everything we've ever wanted for our future self.
