n our perfection-obsessed, air-brushed society, it can be tempting to measure our self-worth against its set of impossible standards.

It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antimony. In short, the moment that foolishness left your mouth and reached my ears, you had already lost. Of course, that’s assuming you are a scientist
