Since nobody wants to be regarded, stereotyped and typecast as miserable cretins, pathetic losers and unapologetic underachievers who will never reach the peak of success and the zenith of their potentials because they always fall short and fail miserably in everything that they do, it goes without saying that people from all walks of life need to strive for perfection in their chosen careers. Although the best things in life are free like a beautiful sunset by the beach, the gleeful laughter of innocent children without a care in the world as well as the billions of stars twinkling in the night sky, the sad reality is that everything comes with an exorbitant price tag.
