Recognition for a job well done is high on the list of motivating influences for all people; more important in many instances than compensation itself.

Perfectionism has never heard that anything worth doing is worth doing badly--and that if we allow ourselves to do something badly we might in time become quite good at it.

The critic does not believe in creative glee--or any glee at all, for that matter. No, perfectionism is a serious matter.
