Leave Well Enough Alone

(don't try improve something that is already satisfactory)

Greetings, Vicki. What have you been up to lately?

Oh, I've been busy working on my sculpture for the spring art exhibition. I'm just not satisfied with the symmetry between the head and the torso.

I' m no connoisseur, but when I saw your sculpture last week I was very impressed. Really, Vicki. Don't change a thing! Leave well enough alone! If you keep trying to improve your sculpture, you might end up ruining it.

Do you really think so?

Absolutely. There's no reason for you to change something that is already satisfactory.

Maybe you're right. I'll sleep on it and see how I feel about the whole thing tomorrow.
