Strive for continuous improvement, instead of perfection.

"The Lesson":

Yes, my fretting,
Frowning child,
I could cross
The room to you
More easily.

But I’ve already
Learned to walk,
So I make you
Come to me.

Let go now—
There!
You see?

Oh, remember
This simple lesson,
Child,
And when
In later years
You cry out
With tight fists
And tears—
“Oh, help me,
God—please.”—
Just listen
And you’ll hear
A silent voice:

I would, child,
I would.
But it’s you,
Not I,
Who needs to try
Godhood.

The pursuit of perfection often impedes improvement.

My hope is that the best practices of today will become the standards of tomorrow.

Believing in oneself is an important step to achieving but it is only one part. Action and continuous improvement completes puzzle.

Perfection is a direction, not a place
