Perfectionism Is Not A Desirable Quality Today
This is because perfectionists are too obsessed with the outcome.
One needs to realize that winning the first place is not always necessary. Perhaps the second and third place is much better because the winner of the first place attracts the envy of others and the pressure to perform better and better.
Usually, when someone is not too focused on the outcomes, he performs better than his expectations.
Striving for perfection also leads to frustration if what you are aiming for is not achieved.
Perfectionists also develop the quality of wanting others to perform at their peak capacity, which is why they feel let down when others cannot meet their expectations. They also tend to attract bitter feelings from others because they try to control others in their desire for perfect outcomes.
