What is perfection? If you had to google the definition of perfection it would say “the condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects." But as we know it that cannot be possible, but what can be possible is to come close it as possible. A high standard can push you to your highest peak of reaching perfection. A good example, athletes often train long and hard to reach excellence in their sports. Stephen curry wasn't the best shooter in the NBA just because, it was because he trained hard and aimed to reach the point of perfection which lead him to win the three point contest this year at the all-star games. There is no such thing as perfection, or being perfect. That goes the same with this article, there is no such thing as a perfect article or a perfect person. If there was, everyone would look perfect, feel perfect, and have the same and perfect personality.
Just look around people want to be perfect not just in the things they do, but the things people want to be. People want to have a perfect body, parents want the perfect son, the son wants the perfect parent. But all that can’t happen.
There are Two Types of people. One of them are the people that are high achievers, they want to become great in society and in life, while the perfectionists tend to believe that anything close to perfection is horrible, and that even minor mistakes will lead to misfortune.
Here are 6 ways to identify a perfectionist:
1. All or Nothing: Perfectionists like high achievers, mostly like to set high goals and work hard toward them. However a high achiever will be satisfied with the result of a good jib and achieving excellence, even though their goals weren’t completely met. Perfectionists will accept nothing less than, well, perfection. Almost perfect’ is seen as failure.
2. The Critical Eye: Perfectionists tend to spot tiny mistakes and imperfections in their work and in themselves, as well as in others and their work. While high achievers take pride in their accomplishments and tend to be supportive of them self and others. Perfectionists tend to spot things that are wrong in a scenario faster and more efficiently than other.
3. Pull vs Push: High achievers are pulled toward theirs goal because of the desire to achieve them, and are happy with the steps used to get them to the right direction. Perfectionists are pushed toward their goals due to the fear of not reaching them and in the end failing to complete it.
4. The Price: The prototypical perfectionist is someone who will and can go to great measure to avoid being average at something, and who takes on a slogan, "no pain, no gain" mentality on their way to greatness. While a high achiever will only go the great distance if the value of the prize is far greater than the price you will paid to get it.
5. You go big or go home: If you have perfectionist habits, you'll probably only throw yourself into a new project or task if you know there's a good chance you can succeed and if there's a risk of failure, you'll likely avoid it . While a high achieve will accept the task if they she potential for them in the end.
6. Fear of Failure: Perfectionists are also much more afraid to fail than are high achievers. Because they place so much hope in results and become so disappointed by anything less than perfection, failure becomes a very scary prospect. And anything less than perfection is known to them as failure.
