It doesn’t matter if you are black or white, you just can’t be grey
Posted in Ramblings on 03/17/2008 02:42 pm by adminHave you ever met those people who are all or nothing? Anything in between just doesn’t satisfy them at all? When having a discussion with my wife this weekend it occured to me that everything she’s involved in is 100% or 0%. For example this weekend we started some early spring cleaning for some company coming in, and it didn’t stop with just some cleaning, it became an entire house overhaul. In conversation I think I illustrated this point perfectly.
”So it doesn’t matter if you are 10 -0 or 0 -10, you just have to be perfectly good or perfectly bad?”
She agreed.
Which made me wonder… are there many people like that out there that can’t accept a “imperfect” record? Also, what drives someone to be like that? It’s actually quite hard for me to comprehend as I’m normally very laid back about things in general and accept them as they come. There are things that everyone is passionate about, and I’ve met people who need to be perfectly good at the things they do, but this is certainly an interesting personality quirk.

I just think its all in terms of oo big or dont go. If youre going to do something, even if its something “bad” like taking that closed road the other day
you have to own it and do it all the way. I look at accepting shades of gray as fear. Afraid to succeed big, fail big, whatever. You dont get in a freezing pool toe by toe, you run and you jump or you mosey back to your beach chair and order another drink. I have to go 100% for whatever it is Im doing or frankly it doesnt interest me. For the record our house is looking fab and if youre interested my next big project is to feng shui the bedroom. I need some zen in my life. Im very tense.

My bane is not the all or nothing - although that is minor problem - I run into the Right this second problem. Everything HAS to be right now. How about a little patience…
