There was a time, a few months back, when I was trying to make something as perfect as possible ... But, of course, I was disappointed with myself (and others, perhaps) when I could not achieve the "perfection" I had always wished for ...
Now, looking back ... I realize that the "perfection" I had wished for so badly in the past did not present itself in the way which I had expected it to be ... all happy and care-free ...
I had found that "perfection", but at the time, I was just so caught up in the struggle to achieve it that I had not realized that I already had ... in THAT struggle ...
A lesson well learnt: to actually look into things before rushing into trying to achieve it.
I guess these things aren't as bad as they are perceived to be when you look at it from post-aftershock ...
