Now Playing: This is like an enfaction.During my whole period at Kota I got sussed
the attitude of several students here across all over country,prided themselves on being a perfactionist.They were constantly
driven by the compulsion to win and at the same time be perfect in every aspect of their work.They continually set exceedingly
high standards and over the ambitious goal;even a minor failure cpuld dipress them for days.For all their intelligence,hard
work and drive,some of them never achieved the heights they dreamt of.Sometime it has also shown by various survays that extreme
addiction to perfectionism is one of the significant factor in procrastination and non achieved goals.Misplaced perfectionism
can prove to be a dreadful flaw.To quote cliche,perfectionists,like them tend not to see the wood for the trees.In an attempt
to do everything perfectly,regardless of its important.They treat even inconsequential matters,so thoroughly that they often
end up missing important deadlines and targets.The common term here is analysis-paralysis.
Perfection are often driven
by the fear that if relax or let go,someone else may better them.So it is required to someone to base their goals an enternal
expection and desires instead of comparing them with next person.
Make sure your goal are realistic or genuine.Rather
than setting unfeasible goals that are doomed to failure.Once you reach a certain standard or goal,set your next target one
level beyond your present level of accomplishment.A gradual increase in standard will help set realistic goal based on your
limits and abilities.Work with an eye on the deadline,and subtasks.Focus on finishing the job well within the deadline,and
the time left over for rechecking and finetuning rather than getting bogged down with a minutiae along the way
Determine the consequences,both positive and negative,of using less exciting approach.Find out if there are
easier less regorous way to accomplish your goals.Is it necessary that you do the job yourself or all that matters is that
the job is done?If it is the letter case,consider delighting the work to subordiantes,while you concentrate on the bigger
pitcure.Recognize that mistakes will happen,in fact most things in life can only be learnt by making mistakes and encountering
failure.
Think of all positive things you have learnt from the experience.
The quest for perfectionism can rob you of a sense
of personal satisfaction and self worth;you end up feeling like a failure or looser,even if you are actually good.There may
be handful of perfectionist among those who are successful,but the success is evaluated not only in term what you accomplished
but also term how much you enjoy the task.After all the process of persuing a goal is just as valuable as the end result.
