Better Finish

I’ve not updated this website for a while as I have been busy with work mostly. And what made me update today is my gripe recently where my work was reviewed with some slightly strong remarks. It bothered me more than I would like. The reason I guess because I feel that I had done and given a lot to the work, and the remarks were also true.

More than that, the remarks or comments were slightly superficial which I should have not missed. In trying to complete the work and making sure the core is sound, I had missed the ‘cover’. I was also annoyed because I feel that the comment missed the core part that I had spent a lot of time on. Maybe I should not have focused too much on the ‘core’? No, I don’t think so. Maybe I should have went one more time over it before submitting? Maybe.

But then I was reminded when I used to be on the client side and was always reviewing submissions, there’s always going to be comments on the formatting and ‘covers’, especially if there is nothing wrong with the content. This is the same, I placate myself.

Also in respect of even putting more effort on it, I need to accept that it is better to be finished than to be perfect, and comments are not a bad thing. That’s what I am going to take away from all this.

Thank you for reading.

    There is a colleague at work who is quite old but he picks things up very quickly. However he talks a lot and has a tendency to encroach on other people’s roles. “He knows a lot,” I said to myself, “but he throws some terms around that are not exactly correct. He likes to correct…

    A friend suggested that I join a professional course, which seems like a very good one, but requires a substantial amount of payment.
