I think it is because everyone has their own defintion of perfect. To each individual, 'perfect' has its own limits and therefore if people or ourselves do not reach that limit, we start to critisize it. Its all part of the way the mind works towards things and the competition in order to get to the perfection. Anything below that perfect limit is regarded as an imperfection and seen as something bad. Its a thing that happens with out us noticing. Its just a natural reaction to how well we expect things to be done, and when they dont reach that standard, we critisize it.\n By critisizing, we push ourselves to do the best we can and improve the task given to us. If we never critisized, and saw everything as perfect, i think everyone would be SO lazy because they would see no point in improvement and advancing forward in life.

But what is perfection?  Just as a parobolic line in math might never touch the axis, but will come close, practice can lead a person to be so close to perfection, in many endeavors, that the difference will not be noticible.

Practice improves perfomance.\nThe more you practice the more you get near towards perfection.\nIts just that nobody practices enough to achieve perfection.

There is no such thing - we are not perfect. On the other hand, perfection is a relative measure. One is only perfect in the eyes of a partner, and it should be reciprocal for it to be perfect. if two people complete each other and make themselves feel in piece and fulfilled in several levels, they are perfect.

My life has never been perfect (even till now). Ups and downs and sideways, too. But the essence of life is how you live it during the good times and , unfortunately, during the bad times, too. So all of those bad things I charge to experience and hope that I don't trip over the same rock twice. And for the good things, keep on coming.\n\nMost of those who reply to this question so far say that they should have done better in elementary or high school or college. Right answers. There are no wrong answers. But come to think of it, don't you guys feel that your misses and "mistakes" have helped you to grow stronger and better equipped to face more challenges? What do you think?
