I'm currently hooked onto this pinball game on my ipod touch. Best of all, it's free.

In it, I get 4 balls to get as high a score as possible. The world top players' scores are insane.

When playing, I have a tendency to restart the game if my first ball goes into the gutter very early in its play time. My rationale was that if I didn't have a good headstart, it didn't matter how well the other balls performed later - the overall score would still be dragged down. But after some thought, I figured that of the 4 balls, only 1 or 2 figured significantly in contributing to the scores; as long as I had 1 or 2 of such performance balls, it didn't matter whether they came in first or last in sequence - my score could still be a record breaker.

In my opinion, this is highly relevant to decision making in more important decisions too. Being a perfectionist and insisting that a particular outcome must be as desired will not allow us to move on and strike gold in one of the decisions in the sequence.
