Voice 2: English uses the word 'perfectionist' in two ways — one good, one bad. We call some sports people 'perfectionists.' They work hard for the best possible result. They try to perform perfectly¹ in a competition. People say that artist Michelangelo was a perfectionist. Maybe this quality helped him create some of his masterpieces², his beautiful art. And we depend on some perfectionist's high expectations! For example, we would want a heart doctor to perform perfectly on our hearts. A small mistake could result in death! These kinds of perfectionists have high expectations. They aim to succeed in life. But mostly, they know their limits. Many of us would like some of the qualities from this kind of perfectionist!
