I went to my IEP meeting today, and they asked me how was my year going, and I replied by saying, "It could have been better because I've slacked, and my grades aren't as good as they could have been." Mrs. Farelli and Ms. Jones said that my problem was that I didn't complete work if it gave me some sort of challenge, especially when it came to my weak subjects like Science and Math. I told them that I accept that I 'm not a logical person, which they disagreed with by the way, and I don't put in effort to understand what is difficult for me to grasp. Asking for help is also something I do not do and Mrs. Farelli asked me was it a pride thing, and she was right on the money. I feel as though I shouldn't need to ask for help even if I truly need it. Mrs. Farrelli said that I put too much pressure on myself, and my main flaw was me being a perfectionist, which I noticed was an interesting paradox. It was said that my perfectionism is preventing me from working excelling to my maximum potential. The question is do I continue to strive for perfection, or do I submit to to the realization that perfection is unattainable.
Am I going to strive for a perfect business? Will my my perfectionism be a problem for me because every aspect of my business has to perfect?
Keep striving for perfection, but don't be afraid to fail or look bad. This is the stuff that allows us to grow!
