I used to drive myself INSANE trying to perfect things.

It’s only the past four years maybe (i’m 49) that i’ve thrown that out the window.

It is almost an OCD and exhausting.

I hadn't considered perfection as an obsession but I realize it can be.

I was referring to perfection as the goal all should seek coupled with the wisdom to know when the accomplishment is good enough for its intended purpose.

A story if I may.

The Difference Between an Engineer and a Scientist

An engineering student asked his professor the difference between an engineer and a scientist. The professor explained it to the student this way.

Imagine you are on a bus and seated exactly nine feet away beckons a beautiful naked lady. How many bus stops will it take you to reach the beautiful naked lady if the distance between you is decreased by exactly one-half at each bus stop?

The scientist quickly answered that an infinite number of stops would not permit you to reach the beautiful naked lady because the distance is only decreased by half at each stop.

The engineer answered that after about ten stops you will be close enough for all practical purposes.
