The time for correct action is now, as doing it now is better than not doing it at all.  It is not too late; better late than never. God gives us the awesome power of the present – NOW.

At the backdrop of correct ACTION  – it is good for us to be mindful that many a times, less is more as simplicity is key. 

Simplicity while preserving the essentials and without decreasing its value, makes things easy to grasp & use, effectual, dependable and delightful. Two illustrations of simplicity. Placing your hand under the water faucet and the water flows out and walking towards an automatic door and it opens.

Connected to taking correct actions, is the aphorism from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who’s an aircraft designer.  He said “It seems that perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.” As such, design is perfect when nothing more can be taken away – this is a fine definition of engineering elegance indeed.

At times, adding-on improves things. At other times, removing enhances things. Sometimes by changing, it ameliorates things. “Perfection is attained” when nothing can be improved.

Last word on “perfection” on planet earth – from a fellow human’s perspective. 

“Perfection is not attainable , but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”  – Vince Lombardi
