Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.Hunter S Thompson
You have no doubt heard this said. But how about this one:
Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly. ~ Paraphrase of G.K. Chesterton
That probably hits you the way it hit me. Then I learned what it means. Doing a halfway job is better than not doing it at all. So for example, if I don’t have time to swim three quarters of a mile, doing half a mile is better than not bothering.
I think this should be applied to marriage. Giving your wife half the time she needs with you is better than not giving her any time at all. Doing up some of the dishes is better than not doing any.
Of course, the danger here is getting in the habit of doing a halfway job. Less than all is never best, it’s just better than nothing. If you can’t do it all and do what you can, great. If you could do it all and don’t, that’s bad.
