Don't let perfect...

I heard this quote today and it applies to so many areas of life. We often get too focused on trying to be perfect instead of just getting better than we were the previous day.

I believe the saying originates or was first formulated by Voltaire, "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien." The better is the enemy of the good. It applies to so much in our lives and would be well remembered by many of the leaders from all aspects of our society, as well and the general public.

Great, thought provoking quote

Absolutely agree. As a famous man once said "perfection is a road block in the way of progress".
Timmay:
so why do so many people think they are perfect? I guess they have never heard or read the quote Tyler posted.

I don't think the quote is referring to people being perfect, yet it's referring to people often don't get better because they are to worried about getting it perfect before they move forward.
