The Pursuit of Perfection
When I got home tonight, on the ten o'clock news, the reporter was interviewing a pediatrician, whose name I did not catch. The doctor was rightfully proud that now in the neo-natal ward that he oversees, 95% of the premature babies go home healthy.
Asked if he was demanding, he said that he pursues perfection. Of course, he allowed that no one can achieve perfection in his or her endeavors. But unless one at least attempts the pursuit of perfection, one cannot ever achieve excellence in the things one sets out to do.
That makes sense to me.
