Have you heard of the saying, “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? The proverb is a piece of advice to make effort towards perfection in whichever job one does．It could be a small task like folding up your clothes, or a major ne like organizing a business meeting in your later life．
Perfection is nothing but attention to details．If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt shows from any angle．If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease(皱痕)shows on the bed-covers．
There are only two ways to do a job：either sloppily, or well．If you choose the latter path, you need to realize that any job that qualifies as “your” work deserves nothing less than your best．Perfection is an attitude that can be cultivated(培养)with just a little effort．It is a habit that does much good to your later life．Let us prove with an example：you may be asked to turn in an essay on, say, wildlife, for a school project．Instead of writing carelessly a few facts that you already know, you could make the project more effective by looking up reference books, encyclopedias(百科全书)or websites for additional information．You could then go over the finished essay for slips(疏漏)and errors, and provide pictures where necessary．If you make it a habit to put in extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult projects at the college or university level?
As Michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once put it：Trifles(琐事)go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle．
