The enemy of great

In the space between GOOD and PERFECT lies somewhere you occassionally want to be:  GREAT.  Very few things need to be perfect.  For many things we settle for good, and probably should.  We need a precious few to get GREAT.

BUT MOST OF THE TIME:

"Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without."  -Confucius  via Entrepreneur

There are times when perfection is called for, of course, but allow me to suggest to you that most of the time, “good enough” will do. There’s a point where it takes more and more energy to achieve smaller and smaller gains. via LifeHack.org
