Did you win?

A much better question to ask (the student, the athlete, the salesperson, the film director, the programmer...) is, "What did you learn?"

Learning  compounds. Usually more reliably than winning does!

Perfect? -not me!

It's possible you work in an industry built on perfect. That you're a surgeon or nurse or an air traffic controller or even in charge of compliance at a nuclear power plant.

The rest of us, though, are rewarded for breaking things. Our job, the reason we have time to read blogs at work or go to conferences or write memos is that our company believes that just maybe, we'll find and share a new idea, or perhaps we'll invent something important or connect with a key customer in a way that matters.

So, if that's your job, are you focused on being perfect?

Perfect is the ideal defense mechanism, the work of Pressfield's Resistance, the lazy part of your brain looking for a way out. Perfect lets you stall, ask more questions, do more reviews, dumb it down, and generally avoid doing anything that might fail (-or anything important).

You're not in the perfect business. Stop pretending that's what the world wants from you. Truly perfect is becoming friendly with your imperfections on the way to doing something remarkable.
