Respected sirs, There is one member in our groups who is perfect and excellent in all respects. No other member can be near him in these qualities.

But I believe a job, project or assignment completed, **even if a little less than perfect**, is better than one never completed. * * One of the five great weaknesses of ineffective leaders is hesitancy. They may be brilliant, they may have great ideas and they may have passion. They are also in need of the perfect circumstance or the perfect timing in which to pursue their passion or idea. Sometimes if they are not certain of a perfect outcome ………………they hesitate to the point of never actually getting started at all. This is a common mistake. For them the hunt for **perfection** is a slippery slope that most often turns into the bondage of procrastination. I would never encourage anyone to halt their pursuit of perfection. That’s not what I’m recommending here. What I’m recommending is to continue moving towards ones GOAL or objective while still in pursuit of perfection. One is unlikely to find perfection but **the pursuit itself will likely lead you to EXCELLENCE.* * Some people believe that excellence and perfection are identical twins. **They are not**. **Perfection does not guarantee excellence and excellence does not require perfection**. There are few things that waste more time than doing something perfectly that doesn’t need to be done at all. * * (Many a times my wife points out!!!!)* *Excellence does require patience**. Needs an understanding that patience is the acceptance that things can happen in a different order than one has in mind. Knowing how perfection could be achieved is not a prerequisite to starting. **Even knowing what perfect looks like is not required to begin.* *Get on moving and whatever knowledge gaps one has in the beginning will get filled up along the way. * *One will rarely **find a perfect time to begin anything ( including RAHU KALAM). **If one is not sure when or where to start ,then start with one that is sure and that it is right thing to do**.** First step does not need to be a giant leap**. Baby steps are okay and though they may be small they are considerably better than no step at all.* * No matter how long the journey, how lofty our goal or how big our dream, our success will begin with a single step. Never forget this simple fact. **The pursuit of perfection is an honourable pursuit**. It is the attainment of excellence however which will lead to one to ultimate and undeniable success. * *Chase perfection today and very likely to discover the excellence tomorrow.* *Regards* *V.Sridharan* *Trichy* On Sunday, 26 November, 2023 at 07:18:47 am IST, Chittanandam V R < [email protected]> wrote: I saw a Board in a Clinical Lab that read "Excellence is our Motto and Perfection is our ambition".
