Thor Odinson Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Oh, I love math, I just use up all my meticulousness in art. I'm a rather lazy person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Not in the slightest. Like Raven, it mostly depends how much I enjoy an activity; in the case of education, I'm a C student, and I'm content with that. This, mostly. Later this fall, when I move into my dorm/uni, in no way will I be happy with something less than a B+. I didn't really care at all in high school, save a few of my awesome classes.

Original Alear Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I used to be a perfectionist, but I think now I've found an acceptable middle ground between pushing myself too hard and being totally sloppy. Yes, being totally sloppy IS an acceptable middle ground between perfection and being dead. Congratulations: not everyone is me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othin Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Also, Othin, if you say you're a perfectionist, that means you don't stop working at something until it's perfect. Now if you have to put in additional effort, beyond just what's necessary to complete it, that means it's not perfect on your first attempt. Since your first attempt isn't perfect that means you wouldn't be perfect. Just my two cents on that idea. Okay, I see what you're saying. I wouldn't agree, though. For me, perfection is something to seek. Past imperfections are something to learn from, but they're otherwise irrelevant. It also implies that a "first attempt" had "failed" rather than simply being incomplete, which I would say is the wrong perspective and wrong understanding.

FrozenCat Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I voted for depends. I could care less about most things (for example, when I had to take Art when I was younger, I took many creative liberties), but when I bake or cook something it's serious business.

marcus90 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Perfectionist? No way. Nothing is perfect. So, some defect has to be there, so you know your limits and you can eventually try to correct them as much as you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
