In their history, Band-Aids have probably allowed millions of people to keep working or playing tennis or cooking or walking when they would otherwise have had to stop. The Band-Aid solution is actually the best kind of solution because it involves solving a problem with the minimum amount of effort and time and cost.”

“The excellence reflex is a natural reaction to fix something that isn't right, or to improve something that could be better.
The excellence reflex is rooted in instinct and upbringing, and then constantly honed through awareness, caring and practice.
The overarching concern to do the right thing well is something we can't train for. Either it's there or it isn't.”
