Perfection ~ Twist

My father was a gentle man, very fastidious, very reserved.  He never raised his voice.  I never heard any ultimatums.  There were just expectations, very high expectations.  No matter what I wanted, there was always a goal before I could have it.  He was always raising the bar.  He taught me that I was my only true competitor.  His was a perfectionist whose standard for quality and performance were … Read More
