Perfection?

To really be happy, you have to accept that imperfection is a part of life. Strive all you want to achieve perfection, because it makes things better. Yet, you can't be happy unless you understand that in imperfection lies perfection itself.

If you keep trying for perfection, you'll only get disappointment and discontentment.

Once, a businessman was hurrying from work to get home. He saw a fisherman lying down on a beach, lazily waiting for the fish to come. The businessman glanced at his watch and, seeing he had some time, approached the fisherman.

'Hello there fisherman. Why are you just sitting there?' said the businessman.
'Why, I am enjoying my day, fishing,' the fisherman replied.
'Why don't you go and use your time to earn money to get a net?'
'What for?'
'So that you can catch more fish, earn more money, and get a fishing boat!'
'What for?' asked the fisherman, smiling.
'So that with the boat, you can catch even more fish, buy more boats, and get more money!'
The fisherman smiled even wider.
'What for?'
'So that you can get more boats, more people, and own your own fishing company!' said the frustrated businessman.
'What for?' asked the fisherman, giving his biggest smile yet.
'So that you can just laze around all day doing nothing!'
'Isn't that what I'm doing right now?'

Where do you stop achieving to be happy?
