Best served cold!

Walking around today (due to bike flat tire... again..) I thought of the taste of beer, which I no longer drink that much of, and of a poem which was on a colleague's wall in my days at Austal Service (thanks Luke Tondut!); hence the title 'best served cold'

The poem: "Beware of Good Enough":

My Child, beware of "good enough,"
It isn't made of sterling stuff.
It's something anyone can do;
It marks the many from the few.

The flaw which may escape the eye,
And temporarily get by.
Shall weaken underneath the strain,
And wreck the ship, the car, or plane.

With "good enough," the car breaks down,
And one falls short of high renown.
My child, remember and be wise,
In "good enough", disaster lies.

With "good enough," the shirkers stop,
In every factory and shop;
With "good enough," the failures rest,
And lose the one who gives the best.

Who stops at "good enough" shall find,
Success has left them far behind.
For this is true of you and your stuff--
Only the best is "good enough."

- Unknown Author (that's what it says everywhere I found it).

A beautiful illustration of greatness for the day: Bernini's "Pluto and Proserpina"  - unbelievable marble sculpture

Here's a detail:

On another note, how great would it be if people took more joy out of creativity rather than chasing satisfaction from whatever is already on offer? Only a few people get to create consumer goods, be on TV, and come up with things for a living; they're the ones having the most fun, and you're their at their mercy!!! - well, thankfully not :P

Great week to all!
