Perfection

I quote from Harriet Braiker:

Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing.


I think this about sums up my feelings. Excellence is not perfection. To strive for perfection is like going after a moving target.

Learn to let go and move on. Being stuck in something that you're doing is really pretty demoralizing as you do not see an end to it. Like what Confucius says: Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
