Hmm....

I have always tried to achieve perfection in whatever I do. But, alas… miserably failed most of the times. In the guise of attaining perfection, one ends up coming around in vicious circles and I have not been an exception to this.
'Sometimes, it is better to be 80% right, revisit it again and see if we are in the right direction and if so, then proceed towards the balance 20% rather than trying and completing the whole 100% only to realize that we should have worked in a different direction altogether. After all, in most cases, it is easy to complete the first 80%, what is difficult is reaching the last mile.'

‘It is better to be approximately right, rather than precisely wrong’

The above realizations are thanks to some interactions with my Exec. Director in the recent past.

Really worth pondering over….

Hum..its really worth pondering....
must agree its better to be almost right than being absolute wrong....and surely concentarting on first 80% than going whole hog..makes sense...

well thought.
