What is ‘perfection’? Perhaps it is simply a striving for more. More perfect, more efficient, more effective.
What is iteration?
To iterate means to tinker, to adjust, to change, to slightly customize, and change. And every new iteration … you step more towards something more ‘perfect’.
The kaizen approach to life

What is kaizen? Kaizen is:
Every new generation, every new iteration … you simply make it 3% ‘better’, and just never stop.
For example, consider the Honda Civic — how it has existed for so many decades, and every iteration is ‘slightly better’ than the prior.
Iterate yourself
Iterate your design for your own website and blog … this is my passion:
I am never satisfied, but every time I iterate … I become slightly *LESS* dissatisfied.
Never stop.
