Embrace Imperfection

Image
By Claudette Rowley Does perfectionism plague you? Do you wish you could loosen up and embrace "good enough"? Do you procrastinate? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, I encourage you to consider the merits of imperfection. In our culture, we are steeped in the idea that if it's not perfect, we've failed, something's flawed or just gone wrong. In fact, the dictionary definition of imperfection talks about flaws, weaknesses and a state of faultiness. I agree, on the surface, that's what imperfection looks like. But here's the truth: imperfection can be liberating. The magic of imperfection lies in looking below the surface. Because we all know, at some level, that life is a deeply imperfect enterprise. It always has been, and I suspect that it always will be. Once we embrace that truth, many of our structures, beliefs and myths about perfection fall away like the scaffolding around a space shuttle.

Son leaves for Moscow

How time flies so fast and I can remember he came back for holidays on 18.06.09 and I was posted to Johor Bahru with a new company. And before I can realize it, he left for Moscow yesterday for his 2nd year Medicine. I can count the number of times that I had come home to be with him, but he somehow seem to be on the computer all the time and he really relaxed during his break. I see one year in Moscow had really changed him from the boy he was when he left and transformed him into a man. But to me he is always the little boy that I knew when he was growing up. I am posting a photo that I took with my latest gadget, Nokia N97. I always wanted a good camera phone and I guess I got no complains with this new acquisition. Another year for him to come back ..... Taken at KLIA on 23.08.09

Quotes of the Week

"To lead people, walk beside them... As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate. When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves'." --Lao Tzu "Money like health, love, happiness, and all forms of success that you want to create for yourself is the result of living purposefully. It is not a goal unto itself." --Dr. Wayne Dyer "Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men." --Albert Einstein

My meeting with the clients are ok and I am also making new friends at this state where I am working. I have set up my office and also a routine for my staff and things are less hectic these days.
