Aim at perfection <br />But be satisfied with excellence <br /> <br />As absolute perfection is <br />Unattainable <br />We say in science <br />Absolute zero is unattainable <br /> <br />Perfection means zero defects <br />In the product or outcome <br />And it means zero deviation <br />In the process and systems employed <br /> <br />While excellence in performance is <br />Being ahead of most of others <br />With regard to process and <br />Quality of the product <br />And this is achievable <br /> <br />It is well known and established that <br />Imperfection and randomness <br />Are the essence of survival <br />And the nature has all its biodiversity <br />Because of imperfection and <br />Deviation from the norms <br /> <br />Insistence on perfection <br />May lead to failures <br />And likely win you more foes than friends <br /> <br />You may even leave a scar in the hearts of <br />Your own people and friends <br />If you zero in on perfection only <br /> <br />The fact remains <br />There is no perfected art <br />There is no perfected process <br />There is no perfected write <br />All await your touch <br />And improvement therefrom <br /> <br />You do not compromise either <br />As you will be struggling to <br />Excel all others <br /> <br />Target at the best <br />Arrive at the best possible<br /><br />Bashyam Narayanan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aim-at-perfection-be-satisfied-with-excellence/
