The older I get, the more I learn that in many cases in the past, 'having done everything I could' did not make a difference to 'doing the 80% solution' in the end.

Doing everything you can is a perception within you, your imagination of an ideal solution. This does not mean that this is always necessary to achieve a certain goal. There is always more to do, better things to achieve no matter how close to perfect you get.
