It
is not easy to deal with a desire for perfection in everything. You invariably
deal with people who are anything but that. To deal with people when you are
trying to achieve perfection and a certain standard in everything you do, you
had better not rely on them completely unless you want to get stressed out and
even fall ill.
Perfectionists have little patience with mediocrity. But to
expect your standard of work from others is also foolish. In fact, it is wiser
to bring down your standards a peg or two. Otherwise, you are likely to get
into serious conflict with such people. To move forward, you might have to deal
with less than efficient people and work.
Unfortunately,
there are paid officials in many places who do not have the interest or
ambition to grow and learn. Because they do not observe. And because they have
no pride in their work.
And
this gives rise to much frustration in perfectionists. I have seen people leave
jobs, sack employees because of this. But they suffer for it.
So,
simply put, be protective about your health, chill and relax a little.
Everything will get done in time. I am often told that life should also be
enjoyed. And I agree....so, learn to grin and bear in general.
