Better Not Perfect

[Craft - XV]

The pursuit of perfect is futile. And potentially unhealthy. The very concept of “perfect” is misleading because within it is the lie that the sum of many fallible, flawed variables, is something flawless.

The pursuit of better is not futile. To be better simply means one degree closer to a predetermined goal than before. (No, the goal can’t be perfection.)

Better taste.
Better feel.
Better handling.
Better speed.
Better access.

Perfection drives you crazy. Better drives you forward.

A commitment to craft is a commitment to better.
