Perfectionist I Am Not...
Nothing irritates me as much as a stubborn perfectionist who always insists on doing everything perfectly and would never accept alternative methods of doing things.
Don't get me wrong, I admire people who have high standards. There are many situations that call for people who have zero tolerance for errors, such as overseeing the launch of a space shuttle or conducting neuro-brain surgery.
However, in many other cases, such adherence to a perfection as defined by oneself is not entirely necessary. I have been in many situations before where there were additional complications and increased complexity due to insistence in perfection.
Most things do not need to be perfect. I believe that we would all be happier if we adopt a more laid back approach to life. There is no need to frustrate yourself over the quality of something that most likely would never be questioned.
The important point I'm trying to put across is that one should never insist on perfection in every single task or undertaking unless it is life-threatening or a potential cause for disaster. Life it too short to harp on all the small things causing one to miss the bigger more important things.
