It’s tempting to dress things up to cover imperfections with a quick fix. But if we don’t address the cause, the problem remains.
As the saying goes, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.”
We can fake it until we make it or choose to do it right. The shortcut may get you there, but is that where you want to be?
Quality doesn’t have to be sacrificed for speed or cost. It’s a choice. We can do it well and be remembered, or we can do it fast, cheaply, or without a thought of sustainability, only to be discovered later and not be remembered or rejected all over again.
