Quotable Quote

“I’m not a perfectionist. I’m a serial obsessive... a seventy-five percenter. I get bored with doing the same thing. So, I isolate one thing, study and improve on it until I feel good about it, and then move on.”

This quote spoke to me on an elemental level. It seems like I'm always moving from learning one thing to another. And once I get pretty good at it, I move on. Some things persist in my life, others don't.

Friends who know me well would say this quote seems to embody me. Always picking up something new. Looking to get out of my comfort zone and when I find something that connects becoming a bit obsessive about learning it.
