A gimper is someone who cannot settle with mediocre or even standard performance. When they look at the expectations other people have from them, their first concern isn’t whether they can meet the expectations, or whether they can getaway with substandard. They want to overachieve and they will spare no effort until they’ve exceeded all expectations.

Have you ever tried to exceed the expectations of your client? Have you ever gone out of your way to produce something exceedingly good (even if you knew nobody would notice)? If not, what do you think could happen if you tried? If yes, how did it feel like? Did it set off any reactions? I’d love to hear about your thoughts and experience.
