Today, I was talking with someone about imposter syndrome and how
often times, especially women. And you know, in the end, my
experiences are mostly with women, but especially women, have
imposter syndrome. And what imposter syndrome is is that even
though you are qualified, and if you check the facts, you'll find
that you have the skills you need to do the thing that is in front
of you to do, even if you do it and do it well, you feel like
you're an imposter, that you someone's going to find out that
you're not perfect
and here, and that is it. That's a dangerous and difficult way to
feel, because, first of all, nobody is perfect. And there's a
expression we like to say over here, rabata,
which is perfect is the enemy of good.
Perfect is the enemy of good. What does that mean? Means, as long as
you're striving for something to be perfect, you're going to end
you may end up with some really serious issues that make it not
good. For example, it could be late. Maybe you're working on a
project and you refuse to hand it in or get it done because we want
you want it to be perfect. Oh, now it's late. When something is late,
it loses of its good. Maybe you want it to be perfect and so you
won't talk about with anybody else, and now you've missed out on
an opportunity for other people's creativity. You missed out on good
when we're seeking perfection, we we miss out on good sometimes
because we are so stuck in our own vision of perfection, we forgot
that there was a use for the project and it just needed to get
done.
