| " | Perfectionism is an attitude developed in the small things and then applied to the larger job. If you can't get the little things right, you're going to fail when it counts -- and when you're driving a car, it counts. A car traveling at 55 miles an hour covers the length of an American football field in just under four and a half seconds, which just so happens to be the same amount of time it takes the average person to check a text message." | | |
