Thank you for elaborating, MumOfThree. That is an excellent illustration of the concept, and a great application, too.
Without having been previously familiar with that quote, coincidentally our family has long had a backup plan of doing things "lite" when need be. I now see the quote as a wonderful affirmation and validation.
Hopefully many will find that they can adopt the mantra that "
anything worth doing is worth doing badly," and vastly improve their situation by living it. This also fits with the saying, "Done is better than perfect." Thanks again for the quote and the example!
