MENTORING MOMENT

Which do you want, excellence or perfection? I loved this poem when I first read it and even translated it to Spanish to share with the gals here! It says a lot about what we desire: perfection or the BEST??

MENTORING MOMENT
Author unknown

Excellence is willing to be wrong,
Perfection is being right.
Excellence is risk,
Perfection is fear.
Excellence is powerful,
Perfection is anger and frustration.
Excellence is spontaneous,
Perfection is control.
Excellence is accepting,
Perfection is judgment.
Excellence is giving,
Perfection is taking.
Excellence is confident,
Perfection is doubt.
Excellence is flowing,
Perfection is pressure.
Excellence is journey,
Perfection is destination.

I hope to choose excellence, but sometimes it's hard!
