He was an accomplished violinist. As he was suffering from polio, he was walking on crutches with iron braces on his legs. One day, during the concert, a wire of the violin broke. The audience thought he would bring another violin, but he played the violin without a hitch. At the end of the program, people asked: How did you finish the concert with three strings? He said: My mission, in concert and in life, is to make music out of what remains.
Those who expect perfection are complete failures. Not whether the available skills and circumstances are lacking; Creative thinking is how to make flaws flawless. No one can have everything to the desired extent. For those who worry about the extra features they could have had, their lives will be a lamentation of unfulfilled dreams. Life will be the sweet music of self-satisfaction for those who are inquisitive about what they have got rather than what they have yet to get. The fault is not in trying to catch what is in the horn, but in the process of losing what is in the hand. No one is born with anything in its perfection. Everything is perfected by the efficiency of the blow-by-blow and the use-by-use process. What is there is a question of measuring assets and how it is used is a question of measuring performance.
Those who have everything in excess do not use anything to the last drop or find the right use for everything. If there is a shortage, it can be used as much as possible and it can be renewed. No one has ever sung a song without a flaw. No one danced without fault. Each manifestation is a sign that despite the imperfections, the journey towards perfection continues.
