Nugget of Knowledge
"Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence."
- Vince Lombardi
How much time do you spend chasing perfection? Or do you settle for good enough? When was the last time someone found fault with you for wanting something to be "perfect"? (not often- I bet) Look back to times of criticism of your performance and ask yourself if you truly contributed your best effort. You may be surprised that the criticism was just.
