2nd Mantra of Life- be content with 51%

We waste a lot of energy in our life in attaining perfection. Our very own Indian democracy does not even need a 2/3 majority to rule the country for full five year term. A mere 49% of the house should not oppose your presence. It does not even say you require to have support of 51% of the people who are elected in the house. God also says that he is not perfect, the sun and moon also experience eclipse and are shadowed by each other in an otherwise perfect show of power and shine. So when God and our very own democracy of which we are a part does not ask for perfection are we mere mortals expected to attain perfection in our work ?
We can allow a person to be 51% perfect in his work and excuse him for the balance. Be appreciative of what has been done rather than what was not done or what ought to be done. Given him a second chance to perform and aim higher , just do no write off because he has not attained the targets. Always believe in giving a second chance to improve. This would motivate a person further to attain better heights in his works.
I am in no way encouraging mediocrity but at the same time trying to look at the glass which is half full. So achieve at least 51% perfection and aim for higher!!
