Questioner: Namaskar Acharya ji. I am second year undergraduate student of department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. My question is that everything I do, I think, it needs to be perfect. Due to this, I end up procrastinating a lot of things and focus only some minor ones which I do almost perfectly and feel satisfaction in only those things.
But I am still not happy that I am not focusing on main things that I think are, like, main in my life. How should I, like, get out of this trap?
Acharya Prashant: You should be perfect in the perfect work. First of all, your choice of what you are doing needs to be perfect. If I make a very imperfect choice; at the first place, and pick up some trivial work to do, and then I excel in that trivia, what have I attained? Excellence is important but in the right field. What will you do by excelling in letтАЩs say, hunting rats?
A fellow might say, тАЬI am the worldтАЩs best rat hunter.тАЭ Some talent show will come and pick you up and say, тАЬYou know, his name needs to go to the Guinness Book. He is a great rat hunter.тАЭ Most people who we admire as very talented people or high achievers, are exactly this тАФ rat hunters! No doubt, they have excellence.
