This was not the perfect work that had existed in her mind. It was only the imperfect rendering that was the best her skill could manage. Yet Giulia was not dismayed. For she knew that she would try again — and again, and again, for as long as it took to gain the experience, the judgment, the understanding to get it right. And perhaps she never would get it right. Perhaps she would never attain that flawless blue, never create that perfect image, never find the ultimate point of balance between what she could accomplish an what she could dream. Yet wasn’t that the point? To be drawn onward, ever onward, in pursuit of your deepest passion? To look back at the end fo the race and knew that you had never done less than the most you could do?. Victoria Strauss
About This Quote

We all try our best and we all fail at some point. What we do after that is how we will be remembered. We will always do the best we can with the tools we have available. We may not be able to achieve a particular goal but we will make a name for ourselves with something very valuable, something unique and meaningful. Therefore, even if you never achieve the perfect work, you cannot go wrong because you will have achieved something valuable.
