Tolerating "good enough"

The good aspects of being perfect are intrinsic motivation, extreme focus, ambitious goals, strong work ethic and high personal standards. They are also highly coachable.

Elite performers are often perfectionists as their activity requires error-free performance.

We all are told that greatness is the route to success. But Good is not the enemy of Great.

Going by the epidemic of clinical anxiety, employee burnout, depression, and other stress-related problems we face, we need to ask ourselves if we even know what success means.

• We never achieve perfection. The best we can hope for is a consistency in our effort.
• What's worrisome is when the striving stops, our lapses become more frecuent and we begin to coast on our reputation.
• The mustard on a sandwich can be good enough
