Aim for success, not perfection
~Dr. David M. Burns |

Dare to be average!”
is the title of chapter 14 of Dr. Burns “Feeling Good…” and undoubtedly is one of the most amazing and provocative chapter titles in all the annals of chapterdom! Be that as it may, Dr. Burns explains how you can aim for task perfection but not self-perfection, and still work hard and aim high without putting your self-esteem on the line.
