When I was in school, I used to make a lot of mistakes. I was never taught how I could improve in order to get a precise and perfect outcome for me. Instead, I was always criticised for the mistakes I would do. No wonder I was like that until I released how essential to be a perfect person doing perfect things. And I learned how to tell someone such as my friend or niece that how to improve in that area.
Being a perfect person is not so easy but trying for that is crucial. If a school is providing same grade for a child with 95 marks and a child with 100 marks, some people might think there is nothing wrong in that, which is offering same grades to both the kids. The real matter here is the 95 marks child made very little errors. Therefore, he got 95. If teachers and parents feel satisfied with that, what if he make a little error when he became a doctor. The small error costs a life.
This is really a serious issue, medical errors are being placed on top 5 causes of deaths list all over the world.
Analyzing medical death rate data over an eight-year period, patient safety experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error in the U.S. Their figure surpasses the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) third leading cause of death -- respiratory disease, which kills close to 150,000 people per year.

Apart from this, there have been many human errors around the world which resulted in a significant amount of loss to the company. A relative example of this is a human error occurred in amazon code by an engineer in Feb 28th. This unfortunately made the internet slow which resulted in a massive amount of loss.
According to Amazon the problem happened on February 28. "At 9:37AM PST, an authorized S3 team member using an established playbook executed a command which was intended to remove a small number of servers for one of the S3 subsystems that is used by the S3 billing process. Unfortunately, one of the inputs to the command was entered incorrectly and a larger set of servers was removed than intended," the company noted in a frank, and detailed, note to Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers.

Not only a software engineer or a doctor could do these kinds of errors but a civil engineer, who can be responsible for many deaths if his construction is collapsed, could do, thus he needs to be very perfectionist. There are many things need to be done before designing a building or a bridge. If 100% attention is not given while designing a structure, it may lead to many catastrophic consequences. There are many examples relating to this, one of which is a collapse in Washington Highway Bridge.
Therefore, perfection is needed in every single job and even life. Seeking perfection is not a better term for some people, as they feel it may lead to unwanted outcomes. But trying for perfection should be maintained right?
Teaching children to be perfect is requisite . Because if small error in amazon cost so much what if it is a big one. Thus, teaching kids right from starting is essential. I feel perfection can be learned perfectly through small things rather than most complicated works. For example, if you ask your child to put sheets in bed, he must put it precisely. I feel this kind of small things will eventually make him/her perfect for future.
