Striving For Excellence


Georgism #3


Each Zaharoff jacket has a little saying (above) there's 70 different sayings.


"Georgisms" are sayings I have written from the time I was 19 year old.  I have them strategically in different places where I can see them from time to time.  I wanted to share these "Georgisms" with those who share in my dream.  It's these little sayings that has given me the strength to follow my dream - and maybe a little bit of that will help with those following theirs.



This "Georgism" comes from the frustration I would get striving for perfection.  One day I was thinking - perfection, unless you are God, is not possible.  Nothing man-made is ever perfect.   So striving for perfection is not possible.

So why strive for something that is impossible?  The only possible outcome from expecting perfection is frustration.  Hello?!?  If more would realize this, I think we as a people would be much better off.

But, there is one thing I can go after, excellence.  With excellence, I can always strive to be better, it's always a work-in-progress. 

As I go through my life, I strive for excellence, because I can always be a better person, I can always make a better garment, I can always be better in my life.  In doing so, life is more enjoyable, it keeps me on my toes, and I know if something isn't just right, it's okay, the next time around I will try to get it just right.  In the process I won't make my life and the lives around me miserable because I am searching for something that can not ever exist, perfection.
