You know, I realize that I am about as far from perfect as it is possible to get. I know I go on about my high ideals and unreachable expectations, and then turn around and do the opposite. I realize that I am hypocritical and unreasonable and hold people to higher standards than they can achieve.
I also hold myself to those expections, though. And I am ten times harder on myself when I fail than I am on other people. It may not look it, but I do try to do my best at all times. I know I will never be perfect, but I will never stop putting pressure on myself to try harder, because I know what I am capable of achieving and I will never be happy with less than 100% of my effort. You may not approve, but I don't care, because it is what I think of myself that counts.
And I will never be happy with less than my best.
"Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labours is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways." - Samuel McChord Crothers
