Perfection

From "Confessions of a Public Speaker" by Scott Berkun:

I know I make small mistakes all the time. There's no way not to. Besides, when performing, perfection is bording. Tyler Durden, the qausi-hero from the film, said to stop being perfect because obsessing about perfection stops you from growing. You stop taking chances, which means you stop learning. I don't want to be perfect. I want to be useful, I want to be good, and I want to sound like myself. Trying to be perfect gets in the way of all three.

Cool! So all I have to do is stop worrying about making mistakes, and I'll be perfect! I can do that.
