>accept the fact that none of us are perfect

I disagree. Pressure makes diamonds. 

Tiger moms make overachieving Asian kids who dominate test scores, overpopulate the best universities, create successful businesses or go into high-paying professions. There is always constant pressure to be perfect, to do better. Nothing is good enough.

It may create some mental problems later on, but you can't deny the fact that they are "successful" by modern definitions of the term.

$0.03
great counterpoint, and I don't disagree that the desire to better oneself is innate in us. 
However, the extreme of any mode will cause unbalance, not to use blame though. I believe everyone tries their best at any given moment, but I do not think that the ends justify the means. What is the point of living, if you are going to be miserable most of the time? I think there is a middle ground.
