IS IT GOOD ENOUGH?

That eternal pursuit of perfection!

Pravin Shekar

Feb 24, 2026

The right mix of salt and spice
Yet the taste seems off, not quite there

You’ve written a piece
But feel something is missing, something more to be added

That speech you have to give,
You are delaying just to make it that bit more perfect

Should we wait to have all possible information, combinations, details
Before we make a decision on anything?

Or are we ok to use the information we have
Make necessary assumptions
Decide,
and DO

Good enough is enough in most cases.

We don’t really have to chase that perfection star,
despite that having been dinned into us from childhood!

Perhaps the parents and teachers want us to succeed on this quest
That they failed themselves

Though I digress

When I know I have enough to communicate,
I write, talk, and ship
Put it out there

Need not be accurate
Or absolutely first class.

Is the data accurate enough for me to make a decision?

Is the stuff I created good enough to ship out to the rest of MY world?

If so, decide away, publish and move on.

Enough is never really enough
In a quest for that eternal perfection.

Good enough is good enough

And that is good enough for you and me, now!

(There’s a beauty in blurry images as well ! IFYKYK)

The Psychology of Shameless Creativity

Doing is a positive loop that feeds itself.
DO. SHIP. TWEAK. REDO.

NEW BOOK BY MY FRIEND: THE RESILIENCE BLUEPRINT

How Leaders Build Unshakable Teams And Cultures

Check out the new book by Sudhir Pathak. Here’s my Amazon review of the book:

Is there an ROI on resilience?

I loved the action movie Sisu and did not realize it is a Finnish lifestyle lesson dinned into every kid. Something that we need to emulate in the biz world as well, especially given the turbulent times we are in (or going to be in soon, with all the AI churn).

A timely book which leads from a personal journey to a corporate one, with resilience being the spine.
