Sometimes trying your best isn't enough; when the situation demands it, you need to be perfect. For Jon Bowers, who runs a training facility for professional delivery drivers, the stakes are high -- 100 people in the US die every day in car accidents -- and it's perfection, or "a willingness to do what is difficult to achieve what is right," that he looks to achieve. He explains why we should all be equally diligent about striving toward perfection in everything we do, even if it means failing along the way.

Perfection, not 99% effort, avoids dire mistakes like medical errors, becoming the third leading cause of death in the US.

Redefining perfection as a pursuit of the difficult yet right, transforms failure into a step towards unparalleled achievements.

Weighing the high stakes in professional driving, one wrong move costs lives; perfection isn't just ideal, it's essential.
