“Strive for perfection - never be content with mediocrity. You don't win until you conquer the little flaws. You don't beat these great ones until your form is perfect. This is true in all of life. A flaw in a product can ruin a business. A personal failing, a little one, can ruin a person's life. Don't be content with mediocrity - strive to live up to the greatest within you.” LittlesPersonsFormWinningSportsLeadershipPerfectFailingProductsBeatsPerfectionStriveRuinsConquerFlawsMediocrityWithin YouGreat Ones Author:Bob Richards
“In one family, every little plan or question is discussed amid bickering and irritation. In another, without the least effort, every discussion goes on amid perfect peace.

“Avengers was cool. I liked it. But I feel like we haven't seen this side of the superhero universe. So I think fans want to see it, too.

“In 1966, while working on a feature about a Picasso exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, I recorded the pre-opening preparations and observed a moment: One of the cleaners stopped, puzzled, in front of the Picassos. I think that this is an image that can be universally understood, but with a grain of salt. I never chose this image in edits before because it seemed to me that it felt posed-the composition was a little too perfect. But, believe me, it was a lucky moment.” ThinkingBelieveLittlesArtMomentsFeltPerfectFrontsLuckyUnderstoodOpeningPreparationFeaturesMuseumsSaltGrainBelieve In MeCompositionEditsCleanersExhibitionsPuzzledGrain Of Salt Author:Micha Bar-Am
“I'm no perfect gymnast. I want to go out and eat junk food, or I maybe don't sleep as much as I should, or some days I'll leave the gym and think, "Maybe I should have worked a little harder.

Every day you push a little harder, eat a little better, maybe go to bed a little earlier.” ThinkingWantNeedsShouldLittlesSleepPerfectBedShould HaveHarderTiredGymJunkJunk FoodGymnast Author:Jonathan Horton
“The invisible hand is not perfect. Indeed, the invisible hand is a little bit arthritic ... I'm a believer in free markets, but I think we need to be less naïve.
