Last week, having heard the news about the death of Stephen Hawking, one of the most famous and influential scientists of our time, I took the opportunity to read some of his thoughts on life, the universe and our place in it as human beings. His was a truly brilliant mind locked in a disabled body that beat all the medical predictions over the years, but which ultimately couldn’t defeat the debilitating disease that affected it. But his mind remained intellectually razor sharp until the end. He had so many insights to share with the world, but one leapt out at me this morning that I wanted to share. He said, ”One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn't exist... Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.” Great words to remember when we are running around as entrepreneurs trying to create that perfect product or service instead of actually getting it out to market quickly. Perhaps we should stop striving for perfect and just get things done!
