Perfection is the enemy of GOOD
just a little quote to help some of us who may be getting disgusted with things

Sometimes the striving for perfection can get in the way of getting something good accomplished.

Not that trying for perfection is bad, otherwise it would just be all about SETTLING, but sometimes perspective is needed to see if settling is good enough. If perfection ends up causing loss or nothing to happen, settling for good enough can be the better choice.

5. Agreed. There are plenty of inferences...

I, of course, do the offshoring issue. (overblown, because it's not all bad, but it sure ain't all good either...)

6. yeah - kind of the I want the perfect candidate and any "other" one

3. They say that's what happened during the healthcare fight in 93.
Hillary preasured Bill into an all or nothing deal. Look at what happened.

4. Lead toys, toxic dog food, overbloated software, technical non-support
It is all about selling. What's settling got to do with it?
