Better a little which is well done, than a great deal imperfectly. — Plato

Better a little which is well done, than a great deal imperfectly.

Author: Plato

Insight: We're drowning in half-finished projects, but one genuinely polished thing—your resume, a presentation, a skill—opens more doors than ten sloppy efforts. Quality quietly beats quantity every single time, even when it feels slower.

Plato

Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, born around 428 BC in Athens, Greece. He is known for founding the Academy in Athens, one of the first institutions of higher learning in the Western world. Plato's philosophical works, including "The Republic" and "The Symposium," continue to be highly influential in Western philosophy.
