Do you agree that Perfect is the enemy of good?

This goes to the law of diminishing returns. You can spend hours trying to achieve perfection working on something that was good enough to begin with.

Perfect is not necessarily the enemy of the good. In fact, often times, striving for perfection can be the very thing that helps us achieve great things. Sure, there may be times when good is good enough. But if we always settle for good, we may never reach our full potential. So, next time you're faced with a challenging task, go for it – perfect may just be within your reach.

Nothing is perfect. Perfection is something to try for.

No, perfect is just a very high standard. It is up to the individual how good they want to perform. Some people are happy with "good enough".

Thanks for the MHO😎

I ABSOLUTELY 100% agree with that. Very rarely is perfection worth the cost let alone achieved.

Thank you for MHO!

Perfect does not exist anywhere but in the individual mind.

I just blew out a brain cell thinking about that...

[AmeerX]

It sure is enemy of the good. Why? You keep searching and you find something better and again you jump to that and you find someone better and you keep switching and discontent with life

[RealMarek]

It depends. Not when you’re building a jet engine.

[NachtjaegerSS]

Sometimes. I was taught long ago that a mediocre plan perfectly executed is better than a perfect plan poorly executed.

[goaded]

Kind of. Settle for good enough.

[MiamiMadness]

No, bad is the enemy of good

[NathanDavis]

it's the trap of delusion...
