Too bad perfection is just a concept, unattainable in practice.
Because if i *did* reach perfection, i'd bottle it and sell it. I bet there'd be quite a market for bottled Perfection®, don't you think?

I would create another world, since I would be the God... No one can reach perfection! No human being on Earth can accomplish that. We are way too vulnerable to temptations and simple pleasures that even the most humane, smart, educated and talented person couldn't follow through. There is so much to be considered. What is perfect? How do you define it? It is not only about what we can accomplish and what we believe, but also how we live our lives that make us human and incapable of perfection. So, to answer your question, if I reached the perfection, I would become a Goddess. And we all know this is a fantasy, not reality.

No such thing as perfection. The very fabric of of the universe is an ever changing ever evolving thing. Perfection is just an idea someone has untill they see something better. Nothing is perfect everything has some room to become something better. The only purpose of trying to reach perfection is to obtain something better. Tho you should use the reach for perfection more over to improve the life you live instead of using it to justify destroying it.

Perfection - An imaginary state of quality distinguished from the actual by an element known as excellence. It is a state of being flawless.
You can never reach it...So...how can you do anything after that?
You can never be flawless.
The second you assume you have reached perfection -- you are already imperfect.
But you can try to reach, try to be flawless.
The purpose of reaching perfection (or trying to do that) is that you improve yourself, better yourself with every try.

Get trapped in the cycle of trying to reach it again, Question whether that was perfection or if I could do it better next time
Find something else to perfect. There is no purpose in attaining something once you have attained it as you usually attain also the realisation that the only point in any of it lay in the process of achievement.

After i had reached perfection I would try and get others to reach perfection. I would be a mentor to those that have not made it yet and guide them in the right path to be perfect.

First understand The word "perfection" in a Biblical sense....it means to have a completely healthy body without flaws or imperfections..it means using all 100% of your brain not just 1/10th of 1 % which is what most of us use now..some can use a whole 1%. Are capabilities are endless in what we can achieve in knowledge. For instance if you decided to study the life of every type of insect or bird in the world you will spend many thousands of years doing so as there are many thousands of types of insects and at least a thousand bird species...not to mention the various fish, reptiles and animals..or trees and plants....the knowledge we could have is endless....our whole purpose to be on this earth is to take care of it...read the book of Genesis..especially Genesis 1:28, 30 and 31...that is our purpose in being here....want to know more about it...let me know...the Bible tells how we achieve it...we aren't all going to heaven. God's purpose was for most of us to live on earth, that's why he made it in the first place.

If I've reached perfection I'm in heaven and would be praising God.

Write a book (Doesn't matter if it's lousy, because I've reached perfection, so people will buy it), do the talk show circuit, get my own reality show, then become a scandalous pariah because it was discovered that I hadn't maintained my status of perfection. Dang!

See a psychiatrist, since only God is perfect.
