There was once a painter whose goal was to paint the most beautiful painting in the world.Day and night he painted to make his greatest work.He painted many paintings，but every time，he would throw away paintings that he thought were less than perfect.
At the same time，another painter who worked in the same studio also painted many paintings.He tried his best to paint and never threw any paintings away.The first painter would sometimes walk by，looking at the second painter's finished works，and laugh at them."No one will ever buy these paintings.They are worthless!"he said.
The second painter would always answer，"Well，see？"And in time，the second painter sold nearly all of his works.People were happy with them，even if they were less than perfect.
The first painter never achieved what he wanted.He had never sold any of his paintings.He felt hopeless and went home with penniless（身無分文）.He finally gave up his dream of perfection.
There is a saying "Practice makes perfect".It is used to say that people become better at something if they do it often.For example，if you want to be a good writer，you should write every day.But in fact，this saying is not always true.No one is perfect，and sometimes looking for perfection often ends in failure.But if we do our best to work hard，we usually succeed in life.
