" Julie Bowen Actress, mother of three, and failed perfectionist" - title of advice chapter
Failed Perfectionist. What a combination of words! Lately, I have noticed a few two word combinations that could have been used for website names. Cool combinations.
I do not believe that I have ever been a perfectionist. I have make attempts to make something the best I can BUT I always felt it could be improved.
So if you strive for the perfection and you fail, have you truly failed? Most likely the result is great. So what?
Did you learn and could you make it a little better? If you can then even though it is not perfect it can get closer to perfection. Perfection is like the horizon. You can see the horizon BUT never reach it.
Maybe it is the engineer in me. We think good enough for all practical purposes is good enough. I can not think of any design I have come up with that reached the level of perfection. There is always something that you can live with but fails the perfection test.
Today's question is:
"So what if it isn't perfect?"
