Subject: Excellence versus Perfection
Message-ID: <38B34139.2F81@-----.com>

Written by psychologist Paul Hewitt =

People who strive for excellence tend to experience satisfation.
People who strive for perfection tend not to- Psychologist Paul Hewitt

That is good advice, Avraham. I've seen more careers of very able people
destroyed by perfectionism than by alcoholism. In the real world, perfect=

does not exist except in trivial cases; there is always a bit more that
could be done. Excellence, however, is gratifying both to the giver and t=
he
receiver. And yes, this does apply to clarinet playing!
