Everyone always tries to be perfect. But why??? It's pretty obvious that no one can be perfect in absolutely everything. Of course there is a point where you can come close to being perfect but I can personally say it is impossible to be perfect.
Mistakes are going to happen to everyone. They happen to NBA players, they happen to celebrities, and they happen to average people. Some people may deny this, but I would have to say that every single person has made at least five mistakes in their life. I'm not saying they are the biggest mistakes of their lives, I'm talking about the little mistakes too.
I always learn from mistakes. I can be in math class and I make a mistake on one of the questions. The next time I come across a problem like that I remember the mistake I made the last time and I correct it and do it the right way. I can be at softball practice and I keep popping the ball up when trying to hit. The next time I go up to bat I tell myself not to drop my hands, but instead I take my hands straight to the ball and hit a line drive. I know many times people at work make mistakes no matter how many years they have had the same job. You can't be perfect at everything because sometimes you don't know the right thing to do. All I can say is that mistakes are going to happen no matter what, don't let them stop you. Successful people make mistakes, but they don't quit.
“All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes.”
-Winston Churchill

I think there is a differece between being perfect and doing your best. Some people don't know the difference. One you can live with and one you can't. I'm glad you do! Nice journals.
