I was quite wrong when I thought the last semester to be the end for those riveting names for me. A few days back, a new tantalizing one – ‘Perfectionist’ was added to my names’ archive (already having 9 unique names) by one of my new friends. When some of us hear this word – perfectionist, we start picturing a uptight and neurotic person who sets impossibly high standards for himself to work.
Wait wait…may be I am someone who
stacks a bunch of papers in properly fashioned manner from end to end, who places
his things at right place, who doesn’t forget to lock his laptop in almirah
before sleeping & who is quite good with managing font sizes in project
reports….but I’m not that uptight one. But yes, you can call me adaptive perfectionist. I will rather
take it as compliment J.
Now some of us would argue on
whether being a perfectionist is good or bad! If you ask me, it’s good if it
makes you feel happy. But if you tend to be one just for making others around
you happy, then I’d rather say that you are just making your hair fall J. If perfectionism is
used in right way, when one sets achievable high standards, it can be seen as a
major productive force which can drive you to great achievements. I would also
like to make it clear that being a perfectionist doesn’t infer you to be a
perfect person.Be a perfectionist, it’s good to be one if you work within
certain limits of perfectionism.
I’m bit of a perfectionist and I
don’t mind admitting it. I am generally less satisfied with something I do,
& I always try to improve it quite a few times. Even I edited this post 3
times after posting it on the blog. I am not perfect, but I tend to do
perfectionism in my every work. And I derive pleasure from doing so.
