Again, thank you...

 

....I was " quoting " one of the most known authorities in the field,

Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming.

 

Which is good enough for me!

 

And, that is a belief, " which is good enough " ...

 

....because perfectionism is a primary FAULT of Metal Elements (I'm a

bit Metal also), where they just can't get off their butts sometimes

unless all the " i " are dotted and the " t's " are crossed.

 

So most of their projects just can't get finished because they are

NEVER GOOD ENOUGH (in their OWN mind!).

 

I always go for an " A " , and just good enough to get the " A " , which

is pretty darn easy...

 

....becauseIn this world, because of most people's low standars of

success, it's so easy to be above average...

 

....most people are so damn lazy, or they have no ideals that propel

them, or they were never trained in a discipline at an early enough

age.

 

And I'm talking about the discipline of one who is a master of his

craft.

 

Sincerely,

Thank you for being so gracious. It seems that we're in violent

agreement about how easy it is to achieve " greatness " in a world of

mediocrity. The old saying, " In the world of the blind, a one-eyed

man can be king " comes to mind.
