Hi
Perfection begins with the premise that we know the end result. If we clearly know the end result expected we can then aim to achieve it and then compare the outcome with the expectations and conclude if we have done it perfectly. E.g. If we have a packing list then ensuring that each package contains every item correctly listed out in the packing list is perfection. If 4 pairs of 2 inch screws are to be put in the packet and by error we put in either 2 pairs or 4 pairs of 3 inch screws in the packet we have missed out on perfection.
In a non structured environment like daily living, we must be clear about our goals if we want to come anywhere close to perfection. Since change is a reality in life, this is constant factor that will keep pushing us to continuously change our goals. In such a scenario identifying perfect goals will be near impossible and attaining it even more difficult. E.g. Let us say we are able to identify our financial goals and put a number to it. The reality is that while we can make efforts to pursue it, the changing economic scenario, our own assumptions on how to attain those goals and our personal wants and needs would keep changing and so meeting our expectations to perfection would be a subjective matter.
The world has progressed because people set out to achieve perfection and just when they neared their goal they realized that there were frontiers yet to be discovered.
