RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 34: Who has influenced you

Thanks
Ben Franklin did talk about perfection, fully knowing that it was impossible to achieve, but I guess he concluded that in the process you attained excellence and felt much better trying than not.
It's always a pleasure to participate. Hope you guys had a great weekend

I find the pursuit of perfection to be wasteful and quite negative. Firstly, it's not attainable and so wastes a person's time and chasing it and failing can bring negative thoughts and attitudes. It's much better to pursue excellence and goals around that; Of course, the end-goad needs to be attainable. With some mini-goals within the main goal one get's to make a few little achievements along the way keeping one motivated and on track...Small wins more often will add up to bigger ones down the track.

Yeah, we had a good weekend. I worked around the house, just did a few small jobs I've been ignoring. Faith has been gardening all weekend, including today as well, (Monday). Hopefully yours was good too.
