In the deepest poverty you should not do anything perfectly. If you do you are stealing resources from where they can be better used

I remember the words of Ingegerd Rooth, who had been working as a missionary nurse in Congo and Tanzania before she became my mentor. She always told me, "In the deepest poverty you should not do anything perfectly. If you do you are stealing resources from where they can be better used."
