The quote from The “Doctrine Of The Mean” goes,”In all things，success lies in previous preparations and there will be failure without previous preparations”,But in some sense，excessive preparation becames a manifestation of procrastination.
For instance,when I need to improve my writing level,maybe I’ll think I need a pretty pen,a beautiful notebook and a comfortable chair.However
The procrastinator usually can’t understand a truth:Thorough preparation aims to make things perfect,while endless procrastination prevents one from taking the first step towards getting started.
For example,a good pair of running shoes can improve the running experience;a pair of HiFi headphones can make music more enjoyable.However,the essence of running lies in the act of running itself,and the essence of music lies in the music itself.As we enter the state of”being in progress”,the importance of those so-called “preparations” gradually fades away.
If we consider something as an “exam”,then”thorough preparation” is merely an “extra score”,and the real key to “passing” lies in “taking action”.
Only through action can we truly experience the joy of the process and the achievements of the results，and only then can we achieve real growth and progress.

Chinese version 「行动」胜于「准备」
俗话说『凡事预则立不预则废』，但在某种意义上，过度的准备反而成为了拖延症的一种表征。
以写作为例，当我需要练习写作时，可能会觉得非要购买一支精美的笔、一本漂亮的笔记本和一把舒适的椅子，然后才能开始写作。然而这种准备还不足够，因为即使一切看似准备就绪，拖延的人仍然会为「开始行动」设想更多的「伪需求」来做所谓的「准备」。
拖延症患者其实没有弄明白一个事实：万全的准备是为了让事情变得「尽善尽美」，而无限的拖延却会让人永远无法迈出「开始」的第一步。一双好跑鞋可以提升跑步体验，一副HiFi耳机可以使音乐更动听。然而，跑步的核心在于运动本身，音乐的核心在于音乐本身。当我们进入「进行中」的状态时，那些所谓的「准备」的重要性会逐渐被淡忘。
如果我们将需要做的事情看作是一场「考试」，那么「万全的准备」只是「加分项」，而真正「及格」的关键在于「行动起来」。只有通过行动，我们才能真正体验到过程的乐趣和成果的成就，不要畏惧迈出第一步，勇敢地挑战未知的可能性，才能获得真正的成长和进步。
