    "Sure is it make is that are correct, everything to necessary?"
    The question may not be PERFECTLY constructed, but it is important that it be CORRECTLY constructed.

    Aug 6 2012: Perfection within humans can only be reach through mistakes and corrections. We typically make things but they are usually perfected or improved once we find the flaws and make the necessary corrections to improve the process or the product.

    As humans our genus is in our imperfection, if we where text book perfect we would all look the same, drive the same car, eat the same food because it would be perfect looks, perfect car, perfect food.

    Now if you are talking about your work, do the best that you can do, but we will always have some mistakes. (just no forgetting to tighten the bolt that holds a plane together)

No where do I believe redundant systems work so well as in people tasks. Sometimes, like in nuclear powered devises we must be eteranally perfect for safely.

    Our actions have impact on people; and we can express our love by making sure that we do all we can to have positive impact.

    It is human to make mistakes; but our failures should not be because we did not apply the best of our effort.

    Aug 5 2012: Well, if we had all the time in the world to make everything correct, we'd do it. However, we do not have that kind of time. Therefore we simply do our best to optimize what we can do correctly/incorrectly
