Some people say they are always
striving for perfection. While that may
be an admirable goal, I am not sure that perfection is actually attainable in
anything. There is a business book that
is over 25 years old entitled, In Search of Excellence. It is a great business book, and its'
principles are still followed today.
Excellence is more achievable than perfection. People and businesses can actually be
excellent at certain things. We should
strive for excellence, but not perfection.
One of my favorite organizations, Leadership Montgomery County,
emphasizes this in one of its’ core values, simply stated as, “Excellence – Not
Perfection”. Consider this quote...
"I am careful not to confuse excellence with
perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's
business."
Michael J. Fox
