Topic: Settle For Nothing Less Than Perfection

Some people are not perfectionists. Some people are so "unperfectionist" they live like total slobs. We do not have to be a perfectionist in everything we do. However, in some areas of life, being a perfectionist is a requirement for success. If you were a professional golfer, you would lose your career if you suddenly stopped being a perfectionist about how you play the game of golf. If you are a sapper (a bomb squad technician who defuses bombs), perfection is mandatory. If you are a nuclear scientist, a data entry person, or a person doing thousands of other kinds of jobs, then your margin for error is next to nothing. We may not have the personality make-up of someone who is a perfectionist, but we must all make strides to be as much of a perfectionist as possible in those areas of our life requiring a low margin of error. We live in a technical world where perfection is required in even mundane tasks. If we hit the wrong key on our keyboard or we click the wrong link with our mouse, things won't work as planned. To be successful in nearly any endeavor, we must pull together the necessary self-control and self-discipline to strive for perfection. When we settle for less than a perfect result in what we do, we shortchange ourselves and degrade the time we spend in achieving our goals and objectives. When we settle for less than a perfect result, we settle for less than total success.
