Practicality or Perfection?

Practicality or Perfection!

Practicality would mean compromise.. in place of 100, 95 would pass.. would yield more overall gain at the cost of a small concession.. and in most cases the overall gain is quite beneficial compare to the small concession.. and in many cases the concession would cause possible loss, if any, to someone other than you! it is an engineering approach to a scientific law.. or a business approach to a theoretical situation.. it is applying chit code in the game of chance.. it is the decision to leave alone the chance to develop a new theorem in a three hour exam to answer other questions..

But on the other hand, Perfection also asks for compromises.. compromise of time.. of sleep.. of some relations.. it asks for sacrifices.. sacrifice of comfort zone.. of some desires.. of some happy moments.. it asks for efforts.. untiring efforts.. But it also offers.. offers satisfaction.. satisfaction of acting the right way.. of choosing the lesser walked path.. of your existence.. satisfaction of the highest level..  it offers findings.. findings of some quests.. of your limits.. your worth.. it is the extra efforts to reach 100 from 99.. the stubbornness of fighting till the end.. not for anything else but for the sake of the possibility of reaching the end.. it is a fight against visible limitations.. against greed.. against time.. it is the defeat of the sorrow of failing in an exam to the joy of solving a new equation in the process.. 

So the question remains..  Practicality or Perfection?
