There is no “good enough” that’s short
Of what you can do and you ought.
The flaw which may escape the eye
And temporarily get by,
Shall weaken underneath the strain
And wreck the ship or car or train,
For this is true of men and stuff—
Only the best is “good enough.”
I have just posted Good Enough is Not Good Enough. The lines above is part of Edgar's Guest poem. You may download a pdf copy of the poem in the website.
There is one way that you can promote yourself to the top, and that is doing your best all the time. Mediocrity is common. Excellent people develop the habit of excellence. They raise their standards high that anything less is unacceptable.
