I've read the aphorisms:
"Strive for excellence, not perfection." and "Don't worry about perfection, you'll never reach it."
Sadly, people tend to consider the things and ideas that are grand and complex as amazing. Any fool can see the world as complex and make it even more so.
"If not the perfection, not complexity, what is the excellence?" - You'd ask. - "Ha! Glad you asked this question. Your journey begins here and now."
My favorite quotations..
“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein
"We are but habits and memories we chose to carry along." ~ Uki D. Lucas
