Practice Makes The Imperfect Look Perfect

August 8, 2017 By Lanre Leave a Comment

Practice Makes The Imperfect Look Perfect

Perfection has different standards and means different things to different people.

For example, I may notice an error in a design that looks perfect to you. That doesn’t mean the design is imperfect. It just means that perfection is relative.

A man with 20 years of experience in his craft would supposedly produce perfect works. But someone with 30 years of experience in the same craft is in the best position to spot the imperfections in it.

With this in mind, at what point does practice make perfect? [Read more…] about Practice Makes The Imperfect Look Perfect

Do The Right Work

Do The Right Work

Just because it’s a profession, requires time and makes money doesn’t mean you should do it.

Everyone is on a different path. And on those paths, we move at different speeds. The paths we’re on and the speed we move at depends on our gifts, values, divine timing and our environment.

Create Happy Moments

What matters isn’t the destination, but the journey.

Many people say that, but to me, that’s far from the truth. Both the journey and the destination matter.

However, how you feel when you get to the destination is a reflection of how your journey was.

For people who fail to enjoy parts of the journey, they end up looking stressed out upon arrival. And with long faces.

Are You Finding It Hard To Get Started?

As the starting pistol goes off in the air, the race track comes into full view and you feel energy rush from the earth into your feet.

And then your legs.

Suddenly all your muscles tighten, getting ready to launch forward. Your arms respond in like manner, giving your body just the forward thrust it needs to take the next step.

The Curse of The Plan-o-maniac

I’m a man of few words…sometimes :). And because of this, I totally dislike anything that requires too much talk. I’d rather listen to your many rants than add mine.

For example, I dislike meetings (even though I attend them), big idea people with no ounce of action in their existence, excessive planning, and other related nuances.

In informal meetings, I contribute minimally especially when there’s not much at stake. In professional meetings, I’m most times the devil’s advocate.

Here’s a scenario…

The Power of Free

The Power of Free

“You mean I get all that for free?”

Whether you’re a 4 year old lad, or a 90 year old grandpa, that’s one statement you can never get tired of saying, especially when what is being offered is of immense value to you at the time.

Once you don’t have to exchange any form of money, time or effort to get something, it all suddenly looks like a good deal. Or sometimes a trap. Either way, some excited wires start to spark in your head while you do the math…
