  • Blog #28 – How to achieve perfection

    Perfection is the hardest goal to achieve because there is no such thing.

    If your main goal is perfection then you will always be disappointed.

    Perfection is the carrot dangled in front of the horse. A goal that is always taunting us and just out of our reach.

    If you work hard enough and finally reach the top of the mountain. The goal becomes the next mountain.

    If you wait to do something until it’s perfect then you will never do anything.

    Perfection is out of our reach because we already have it. What makes something perfect is the imperfections. The imperfections are what makes things real and gives things character. The imperfections are what people are attracted to. To achieve perfection you must be perfect with imperfection.

  • Blog #27 – Test Yourself

    Where are you at?

    Are you getting better or worse?

    How do you know the answers to these question if you do not test yourself?

    Testing yourself benchmarks where you are at. A test is not only a scantron done in school. A test can be anything that gets you out of your comfort zone. Test are meant to be challenging. Tests are meant to fail beginners and be easy for masters.

    A test or examination is an assessment intended to measure a test-taker’s knowledge, skill, aptitude, physical fitness, or classification in many other topics.

    The point is not to pass or fail but to use the test as feedback for where you are.

  • Blog #25 – Deadlines, a curse or blessing?

    Whether self imposed or put on you by someone else, deadlines are a powerful thing.

    I have always been a procrastinator. In school I would work on something right until the moment it was due. If I had a test then I would study the night before. Now that I’m in a real world job, most of what I do is in accordance to meeting deadlines. There is not a big change either. I am still working on something right until the deadline.

    Deadlines have the ability to light a fire under people to get things done. Deadlines make people go crazy. Nice people turn into giant balls of stress. All that matters is meeting the deadline.

    Even though the stress and craziness that occurs with deadlines. There is a strong power to get work done to meet these dates. They are great motivation.

    Once they are passed and you have successfully met the deadline there is a great relief and reason to celebrate.
