Perfectionism, a tormenting trait, robs some achievers of contentment and abiding relationships. Because perfectionist possess a driven personality style, many have gathered applause and accolades, but feel inadequate and empty inside as if their laurels are "not good enough." The following traits mark the perfectionist:
A predilection toward a negative view of the past, present, and future.
A proclivity to remember and magnify negative events at the expense of positive ones.
An inclination to use
should, ought, and
must as in
I should study longer;
I ought to go to the library more;
I must pass this test.
Can perfectionist change. You bet. Stay tuned.
This was great. I am going to forward this link to ten different executives.
