do you usually do things right or perfect the first time? or " It's just the first time, there's always a 2nd,3rd,4th...times" to do it right? I have a friend who likes doing things perfectly the first time. She makes sure that everything's done before sleeping, relaxing or starting a new day or else she'll die, that's what she said.^^, because for her; You'll never know what that 2nd, 3rd or 4th time may cause you. So what do you think about this?^^

Hi, meena, I think we cannot make sure the first time is right or perfect. But for me, cooking is possible. Actually, my first time always successful! But maybe second, third, fourth...times, it will be a little worse. Haha... At least, it tastes different from the first time. Sometimes, as I'm not patient enough. - I don't prepare material very well. But sometimes, I really don't know. I just do everything in the same way, but getting different result.

When you talked of do it right at the first time, it reminds me of crossby, the philosopher of quality management. I think a person who applies his idea to his life will be success but if he totally turn himself to be crossby then contrary. A person like Crossby put emotion over consideration. Even great six sigma can be performed at 3.4 so that there are still errors. It's all right to a person who likes to be perfectionist but did he/she ask him/herself yet that he's already perfect and give perfect instruction before expect the perfection from someone else?
