Accomplished Perfectionist ?

I got this from http://www.alhome.net/index.php/how-to-be-an-accomplished-perfectionist/

Cool and interesting =D

What makes an accomplished perfectionist? In other words, how does one balance the act of accomplishment with a strive for perfection?

Accomplished perfectionism is the fusion of two separate genes: those that empower a person to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible, and those that compels him or her to do their best possible job on these things.

To illustrate, take a look at the following phrases which are more likely to be said or thought by a carrier of each of these two genes:

Aspect	Perfectionist	Accomplished
General thinking	"All or nothing"	"Best I can get"
Evaluation	"I can’t see beyond these little imperfections"	"This is perfect enough. What’s next?"
Standards	"I have to aim very high"	"I’ll do my best at what’s possible"
Results	"I’m so paranoid about getting it just right"	"Let’s have fun doing what we do best"
Reaching goals	"No use. I couldn’t do it the way it had to be done"	"It’s not what I wanted. But that’s alright. I’ll improve it and do better next time"
Failure	"Failure is not an option!"	"I’ll manage to do my best and learn if I fail"
Criticism	"I don’t think you know what you’re talking about"	"Thanks for your constructive criticism. I’ll see what I can do"
Lifestyle	"I’m not good enough. I know it. Life sucks"	"It’s amazing how far I’ve come. What’s the next step?"

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

How to train your dragon (Movie)

If you said it is a waste to watch animation or cartoon in cinema, I will reject your idea. Firstly, most of the animation strongly project good moral ethics or values for the reference of audiences especially children. During the childhood, children ought to differentiate the right and the wrong distinctively, neither grey area nor in between. Value always serves as a guideline for us to oblige, not a compulsory because decision is still lied in the hand of human. This movie secretly intruded my deepen heart. It talked about relationship, a bond between dragon and human. The main character, Hiccup chose to save the night fury (dragon) because he saw the fear from its eye. Even a human, we got attracted or closer with people who are similar to us because we feel we able to understand each other better compared to differences. The flow of movie discussed the process of rejection, acceptance, understand and devotion in a relationship. When we are just a stranger for each other, we are re...
