Good is Better than Best

One of my bosses said this to me once – Good is Better than Best. It took me a while to understand this word puzzle. But once it clicked, I haven’t forgotten it is 10 years.

This was said as a remark to my quest for perfection. I had been working on a report that was to be sent to our German partners. It had taken me three days to create that report and with just a couple of hours before the scheduled opening time of German offices, I was still not comfortable with the output. Thats when my boss taught me the values of time, commitment and the virtues of sometimes doing a shoddy job just to keep up on the first too. A similar thing is playing here in this blog. I have thinking of creating this blog for the past three years. Finally I managed to get this started but then it took me a full week to get my first blog in.

Mr. Arvind Walia, this is one of the best things you ever taught me.
