If I can not do it well, I do not try to do it! Yes, I do believe in this thought!

If I can not do it well, I do not try to do it! Yes, I do believe in this thought!

I agree with Dr.Ljubomir.

Thanks my dear colleagues, Professors Ljubomir and Hassan. Best regards

Indubitably, because it reflects a sense of commitment to something that is important to you. Moreover, the chance won't come again anytime soon.

Dear Dickson Adom,

In my view, the philosophical thought 'If it must be done, it must be done well' doesn't work in practice in today's world.

I want to give one example. A famous writer told such a story.

"I went into one barbershop and waited a long time. Finally, a barber woman came up to me and asked: how to cut you, good or bad. If you cut it well, then it will be an expensive price, if you cut it badly, then it will be a cheap price".

Evem the things that must not be done, need to be done well

Dear Prof. Ali,

Many thanks to you for your great comment that unveils the real intent of the thought. I am grateful. Best regards

Dickson

Dear Prof. Gennady,

I am grateful for the interesting comment with a buttressing example. Thank you

Dickson

Dear Prif. Vilemar,

I appreciate your important opinion on the subject. Thanks and best regards

Dickson

There is no way to think otherwise.

Absolutely YES!

Dear Prof. Shibabrata,

Thanks immensely for your affirmative answer. Best regards

Dickson

Dear Prof. Dickson Adom,

It is so kind of you.

Yes. But if it can not be done well and there is really a need to do it, then JUST DO IT.

Dear Prof. Romer,

Thank you dearly for your exciteful comment. I am very grateful. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Yep I do , because that is what my Mommy says every now and then :(

Dear friend Prof. Aparna,

Thanks for sharing mommy’s succinct saying that resonates with the theme of the discussion. Best regards

Dickson

Hello,

The will to do things we have do most certainly influences our endeavors towards building and/ or changing the future. Even doing small tasks requires some kind of commitment because trying our best for doing the things we have do well is the first step forward to be a useful member of the community.

Best regards,

R. Biria

i believe in it strongly

I appreciate your great views, professors Syed and Reza. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Not necessarily. Some things that have to be done, like menial tasks, don't have to be done well. When I take out the trash, do I really have to do it well, making sure that every bag is tied correctly and everything is sorted perfectly? Obviously not; the trash will still be taken either way. Or when I sign my name, do I really have to do it well, making sure that every letter is legible? Again, no; the signature still legally counts even if imperfect.

Hi,

YES, I believe in the philosophical thought 'If it must be done, it must be done well.

Best regards!

Dr. Adel OUESLATI

Thanks professors Kirk, Mutasem, and Adel for your rich, interesting arguments and valuable comments. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Very well. As a matter of fact, that should be a guiding principle for any serious minded individual.

Dear Prof. Jumoke,

Well said！ Thank you dearly for your concise but power-driven comment. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Thank you for your support to the discussion Prof. Barbara. Best regards

I agree with Dr.Ljubomir.

Dear Dickson, I completely agree with this thoughts.

Of course yes.

In my own opinion, everything worth doing at all, worth doing well. This should be a guide in all we do in life.

Thank you

Oluwaseun

Dear professors Ali, Violeta and Derra, thank you dearly for your contributions to the discussions. I am grateful. Best regards

Dear Prof. Oluwaseun,

Thank you dearly for your important comment. Best regards

Dickson Adom

I agree with Dr.Ljubomir

We do speak indirectly about perfectionism!

Most people would consider having high standards a good thing. Striving for excellence can show that you have a good work ethic and strength of character. High standards can also push you to reach your peak level of performance. For example, athletes often train long and hard to reach excellence in their sports.

Perfectionism, on the other hand, involves a tendency to set standards that are so high that they either cannot be met, or are only met with great difficulty. Perfectionists tend to believe that anything short of perfection is horrible, and that even minor imperfections will lead to catastrophe...

I agree That

If it must be done, it must be done well

I agree, of course, that you must always intend to do things well, yet I see a problem with possible interpretations of this claim, in particular by youngsters and beginners.

It may sound that you should do only when you know exactly what to do.

However, this may also mean that you should never try new things that you don’t know.

I encourage young people to not be afraid of eventual failure, because failure could be only one step towards success and, instead, being afraid of failure may imply that you never do anything new or different.

Actually, I think people become “people with experience” only when they dare to say “I don’t understand” and real experts when they even dare to say “I don’t know.”

for me it depends. some things need to be done well. others I just do them with out looking for perfection

I am very touched by your valuable comments Professors Ljubomir, Hameda, Itzhak, Mohamed, Paul and Daniel. Thank you and best regards

Dickson Adom

Whatever needs to be done should be done well; however, we should be careful not to be slave drivers and perfection hunters in everything.

Dear Prof. Adewale,

Thank you for your insightful comment and valuable caution. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Of course, yes I utterly agree with this philosophy.

No. What must be done should be done, correctly.

I try and for me it is effortless , I do things when I want so there is no second thought !!!

Yes, to me, the reality, everyone returns, according to the way he thinks and coexist with himself and his community

In our Islamic religion, all Islamic authorities have stressed the need to complete the work in a distinctive way, because this will enable man to receive the satisfaction of God and his community.

The origin of Western philosophy dates back to ancient Greek thought, in particular to a series of historical, economic, political and social changes, as explained by Jean-Pierre Vernant in his interpretation of the origins of Greek thought, beginning around the 7th century BC in the process of secularization (Cosmogony) and theogony of Homer and Hisod. At the same time, however, it is still difficult to separate the cognitive thought and the kind of hidden religiosity expressed through the Orphrion and the mysteries of Eleusinian. [1]

On the one hand, there was a need for more independent thinking of the principles behind natural phenomena. This need prompted the early thinkers, especially from the Milesian School, to begin with Thales to pivot the question of the ship as the primitive element from which everything came. What laws govern the relationship between primitive elements? Thales identified this first principle in water, Anaximander in the Apeiron, the Anaximenes in the air, and other thinkers, later suggested other assumptions in this regard. It should be noted here that the importance is not in the conclusions reached by these first thinkers, but in the efforts to answer questions about origin and the meaning of reality without resorting to explanations based on myths or traditions. For the first time, the direct observation of nature and the ability of rational man are taken into account because of their independence and superiority.

On the other hand, concurrently with the meditation of the early thinkers, the need arose to rethink the relationship with divinity and to address ethics issues related to the way man performs his existence and relations with the polis, the city where the monarchy replaced the system of equality with laws designed to reflect Natural system of the cosmic system. This need found the first response of the Seven Wise Men of Greece. In postmodern, Socratic and Socratic reflections, to become one of the main branches of Greek philosophy.

In the first stage preference was destined towards the cosmic and existential side; Pythagoras hopes in this direction, such as an important development, as the first attempt to describe reality according to the criterion of need, or rather through mathematical laws. It is an approach that seeks to verify invisible relationships of harmony as the basis of the universe, a approach limited to a few sacraments of the sacred nature of this doctrine. Which is that the numbers are the source of knowledge, and the standard unit that is hinted at is not just a number but also includes many things: symbolic and higher. It is the basic element from which every other reality comes from, and it may be derived according to a rigorous mathematical engineering series, where the qualitative and mathematical element exceeds the quantitative component. Some aspects of Pythagoras' philosophy, especially in cosmology, were followed by subsequent developments in Plato's thought.

With the attempt to verify the spirituality, some philosophers have endeavored to liberate the existential search for the primitive elements of the traditions of religious thought. From these critical attempts, specifically oriented towards anthropomorphism, for example the thinking of the philosopher Xenophanes gave the introduction to the most important developments in Greek anthropology. In the thinking of the Eleanics school and Parmenides, which opposes the thinking of early philosophers. Who put Muslim women into various primitive elements as an interpretation of the concept of the variable (Becoming). Hercules, who defined reality as a compulsory and continuous product of opposing laws, also opposes this pluralism and contradiction as a gift for the existing situation and not as a mistake in thinking.

Heraclitus by Johannes Moreelse

As for the philosophers, they saw that man is distinguished and that his sense can not lead him to knowledge. Only through thinking can he free himself from sensory experience and reach the reality of existence, in a manner separate from extreme views of cosmic phenomena.

The position of Parmenides, influenced by the thought of Pythagoras, has become of great importance in the development of philosophy. Empedocles already questioned the unilateralism of being, and proposed a pluralistic thesis, by identifying four essential elements as the roots of each becoming (becoming), through two basic motives: love and hate. Later on, Anaxagoras radicalized the Impedocles thesis, arguing that cosmic intelligence, known as the Nss, was driven by a continuous evolution beginning with an infinite number of simple elements called the anxomeras (the so-called molecules of the universe and everything) .

Only the work of the atomists: Democrites and Lucipus, material pluralism has reached a greater dependency and extremism. With Democrites, the being assumed by Parmenides, one simple, disintegrated into an infinite number of atoms, which retained only one property: indivisibility, but these atoms were simple elements of the physically conscious universe, where no end was excluded.

In a complete debate with the structure of pre-Socratic, pre-Socratic, pre-Socratic philosophy, the Soviets turned their minds towards ethical issues, in particular the impossibility of defining common values ​​for all men. In this dispute with sophistication, Socrates and later Greek philosophers found the foundations of human values ​​and knowledge.

If those thoughts are identical with logic, Must be strictly followed and applied, Because it represents a critical need for life

and vice versa.

Thanks for sharing ...All developed countries are working this principle ... It is a kind of devotion to work ..there is saying "God bless the man who worked a job and well done"

greeting

Thanks for your indispensable comments, Professors Neeran, Salam, Humberto, Arben, Isam, Houda, Aparna, Stephen, Raod and My friend from Babylon. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Do you believe in the philosophical thought 'If it must be done, it must be done well'?

Yes, I subscribe this thought because uncompleted job is worse than job not done at all so that the right / justified resources can handle it (kind of binary 0 or 1). Sometimes in our lives, we face situations that we need to juggle many jobs at the same time - so we need to prioritize / manage the job request out-front rather than giving excuse later.

All developed countries are working this principle ... It is a kind of devotion to work ..there is saying "God bless the man who worked a job and well done"

greeting

Adom, you state the maxim in the future tense, ie an intention, as a teacher when I talk to students, I use the past tense. I tell them to look back and feel the satisfaction of 'having done a good job'.

Dear Prof. Gould,

I agree from the perspective of your explanation. It is a beautiful observation, and I am very grateful. Thanks for that succinct advice you give to your students. Many of us would start same. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Dear Prof. Han,

I perfectly understand your comment from the angle of a person mindful of quality which is very essential in our world pregnant with many responsibilities. Indeed, its better to efficiently utilize the resources at hand by sticking to quality, rather than wasting it through shoddiness. This is a valuable insight. Thank you so much. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Dear Prof. Neeran,

Your rich comment is really helpful to the promotion of work ethics generally in global societies. Indeed, we always earn the favor of God and men if we dedicate ourselves to hard work and excellence. A cogent directive statement of lessons! Thank you. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Thanks greatly Prof. Monyer for your affirmative answer. I am very grateful. Best regards

Dickson Adom

Dear Prof. Fillipo,

I am very grateful for your rich and convincing comment on the subject. Thank you so much for supporting the discussion. Best regards

Dickson

One specifici field is to be considered. If surgery is to be done, I do very much agree with this quote! It must be done well!

Indeed, we can jeopardise the life of someone with wrong display of skills in healthcare, especially during surgeries! It must be done well! Thanks Prof. Ljubomir. Best regards

Dickson

I believe in this philosophical statement. I apply it in my major decisions and want people around me to use it at all time. Its actually a driver of success. Its a principle employed by majority of goal getters. Just that wisdom and flexibility is necessary in the course of employing this idea so that we won't coarse people or unconsciously become a dictator.

Great view Prof. Abiodun. Thanks so much for sharing it. Best regards

Dickson

I remember learning something to this question in Iraq when I was a kid and it goes as follows:

May God bless those who do something good until it is completed.

It is a translation that may answer your question.

Prof. Amir, thank you dearly for your rich comment. I am very grateful. Best regards

Dickson

Dear Dickson, thank you for your thoughtfulness. Some great lessons in life are hard to forget and always good to live by.

I utterly agree with this phrase. It is better to do nothing than to do bad thing.

Thanks dearly Prof. Raid for your very cogent comment. I am very grateful. Best regards

Dickson
