# Perfection Vs Performance

All my life I have been driven by the idea that perfection will lead to success.

I could not be more wrong.



Perfection is pointless or endless. There is no point where you can say something is perfect. Everything in this Universe, including the Universe is growing, evolving and nothing is perfect.



So... striving for perfection is an endless pursuit. Many may find amusing and might even have the luxury to entertain it. 



However for those who are trying to build something, create something new, change something for good, it is performance that will make this happen and not perfection.



Imagine you are trying to write a book, and get it published. You have not published anything ever before. This is your debut.



If you set your goal as - to publish the most perfect version of your book, the perfect  content and the perfect title and the perfect cover, etc, etc....; you are most likely to be in an endless loop of iterations. You will always find something to fix or change to make it better



On the other hand if you focus on performance, 

performance can be defines as - *the action or process of performing a task or function,* 

you are most likely to get the book out in a reasonable time frame.
