To strive for perfection with dedication and passion is joyous process in itself. But it hurts when you do it to fulfill ego and just sake of name and fame.We can see great people just give 100% to their work regardless of what others think about them.It's attitude that counts while striving that's all

I totally disagree that striving for perfection in one’s life is unhealthy. Everyone always wants to strive for the perfection in their life because perfection means the quality or state of being perfect or complete, so that nothing requisite is wanting; entire development; consummate culture, skill, or moral excellence; the highest attainable state or degree of excellence; maturity; as, perfection in an art, in a science, or in a system; perfection in form or degree; fruits in perfection. The other reason people want perfection in life is that if there is pursuit of perfection, then there is the pursuit of sweetness and light i.e. achieving goal in life, which will be the ultimate search or goal of him/her. No one wants to live life in hectic and monotonous way. So, everyone wants to be a perfect person, even though no one is perfect in the universe, but some are. The more perfect a person is, the more susceptible to good and bad treatment he/she is. Obviously, such pursuit of perfection creates a kind of contending competition to the people in the society, creating a positive attitude that what one has achieved ( goal) in his/ her life. The true perfection of a person lies not in what man has, but in what man is. Though perfect men are like the perfect numbers, that are rare in the real number system, and is difficult to be a perfect one; it always indulges the positive impact on environment.

Man is never satisfying being,always he tries to get more.He goes on carrying for unfulfilled things.people who especially have desire for perfection in their life do are ambitious.They always are standing in the next line than common person.one cannot stick in being fully knowledgeable in one subject only or being perfectionist because there are so many things to do in life,if you go on doing each and everything,entire lifetime is not enough for that.

For sure striving for excellence motivates you, but striving for perfection is demoralizing. A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault. When you aim for perfection life becomes disorganized or when an obstacle occurs, you spend endless energy figuring out how to make things right. But friend perfection is a moving target, its only in grammar there will be more than perfect. Perfectionism cannot be cured, but it can be managed. When things are in order, they feel safe and secure. The problem is that nothing stays in order. Consequently, a perfectionist’s job is never done.Perfectionists are hard on themselves. No one is perfect in themselves, that's why pencils have erasers.

There's a Proverb that says, "A beautiful thing is never perfect". Even the moon has a black scar on it. According to my point of view I think that different people have different perception. Few people strive for perfection whereas others opt to be simple.Every human has the right to choose on their own.
