A complete applicatoin is much better than a perfect application

I was cleaning my text messages, and came across this message I wrote last year gingerly persuading someone.  I still remember the reason behind the message. The message was composed after not getting any satisfactory "progress report"  during weeks of face to face conversations. The message was:  "Do not spend too much time deciding on what to write or how to write. An incomplete application is not an application at all, and a complete application is much better than a perfect application."
