Is perfection something to be admired or sought after?

Perfection is, broadly, a state of completeness and flawlessness.Perfection is when a teacher reads an essay and sees that, that is what he needed from the student, the whole motive behind rendering the topic to the student is achieved. Perfection when a chef makes a recipe which delights your taste buds and you know that nothing could be add or deducted from it, its just perfect, its all you needed. Behind each perfect thing there are skills and these perfect skills are being gained by people fro years and years of dedication and hard work. So we must respect and admire those who worked so relentlessly to develop and nurture these skills. It takes years of hard work and dedication to gain perfection, so it must be admired.                                                
            When a lady met Pablo Picasso she asked for his autograph, but instead Picasso drew him a drawing and said take care of it lady, it worth's millions. Then the lady replied with a slight smile on her face "but it only took you 30 seconds". Picasso said that "It took me 30 year, to be able to make it in 30 seconds". This renders a glimpse that how difficult and hard it is for one to gain perfection in a field.
       A closed gaudy office with white interiors. A table lying in the center covered with countless papers sketches, with only one chair on which was sitting a man with a tired look on his face, wearing a white shirt and black trouser hand cuffs folded giving a brief idea that the man has been working over time. He have thirty five sketches pinned on the board in front of him. Soon enough a man enters, one could tell by a look on his face that he needs something good this time. The man presented the final design of the day but Jobs tore it apart, that's how serious apple is on designing its product. The final product which company launches is just a mere face the countless others which failed to achieve the purpose are never known to the people. Those hours and hours of working to achieve perfection for that one model. Perfection is not gifted it is earned by hours and hours of hard work and that hard work deserves praise.
                         A lady sitting comfortably on her executive class seat in a plane. Sipping red wine also reading the latest edition of Vanity fair. Having drowsy feeling she adjusted the seat and pull blanket over her and fell asleep just like 250 other travelers on the plane. Every day thousands of flights takes off, each of them is a result of very intricate and exquisite engineering. The engineers goes through hundreds and hundreds of difficulties to make a perfect turbine jet engine which makes the flight possible, even a miniscule problem could cost hundreds of lives. It is being perfected, eliminating every problems and also checked for hours; only then a design is approved and the flights becomes safe for traveling. A turbine jet engine is a paradigm of perfection Which is attained by hundreds of hard working engineers who works day and night to make that perfect engine.                   
The perfection must always be lauded and respected. Because it is one quality which inspires other people. When a perfect machine is made it also sets example for other people and they envy it and tries to achieve that same level of perfection. Those standards set by perfectionists are the reason behind every perfect thing that you look around yourself.
