Achieving Perfection

Going by the rules is some people's obsession Bending them a bit, is no great transgression The sun will still rise Babies will still cry Won't achieve a better life by achieving perfection

Perfection is an evil word really! No one achieves it, and everyone seems to try for it...and only gets disappointed by the results...like my last assignment in my teaching class(We are to create a class that I would teach one day...making the syllabus, lesson plans etc.)I struggled to get perfection, and got a "B" on the assignment that I worked so hard for! I was disappointed, but reality strikes hard sometimes and that is a hard thing to remedy sometimes ugh! This is a fantastic piece, GW!

Those that try are destined for failure and only result in frustration for themselves and those around them!!! Sad!!!
