I have always had goals - stated or unstated.
My wife is very results-driven and I think our children have benefited from this mix.
Sometimes, though - you just have to know when enough is enough:

This guy was a little too results oriented and it cost him his life.....
You have to find balance in all things. As a co-worker and I were discussing this morning, you have to always keep in mind that "Perfection is the enemy of good enough."....
I used to be a perfectionist (as an engineer, you are pretty much OCD by default) - but have since mellowed to an "optimized state" where good enough is going to have to do. Time and energy do not permit perfection - at least in this life..... But we never let it out of our sights as an eternal "destination" that we will one day arrive at.
