Perfection has no parameters. None can be perfect unless one fails to attempt. All the eminent personalities in the list of who is who are once the beginners. Not all the beginners can be perfect in the course of their journey. It’s not about any trait that one develops but also living life. Not all do live successfully. Each one has their own limitations either biological or psychological. Yet if comparison and criticism knocks the pioneer before one could know one’s own limitations, none will be experimental. All the successful people who have excelled in their skills , might be defeated someday. The potential required comes through burning zeal. But when Sachin the great speaks better not compare him with Swamy vivekananda and declare him imperfect since each excell in indifferent fields. Sachin, Kalam, Swamy vivekananda and the rest are exemplary for what perfection is but not a milestone of perfection definitely. One who knows this fact does never criticise the failure. If all those who bat, speak and experiment are expected to be another Sachin, Vivekananda and others, no one would ever effort doing what those familiar personalities have achieved. Every perfection can be overtaken some or the other day.
In the same way every imperfection can be a perfection some day. Time may turn a duffer into a successful or a reputed successful to an unfamiliar. Watching silently when a bird tries to fly is the act of wisdomed, where as comparing its flight with eagle and criticising it till it breaks its feathers is wisdomless intelligents senseless act. Let’s be a silent watcher before we make declarations degrading one’s determination. Appreciation is a wand when it stands independently without comparison. Either be a gentle pat of the endeavors or silent watcher. Let not someone’s heart break because of your interference in their life.
