Comments on: Never Measure Yourself against Perfection http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/never-measure-yourself-against-perfection/ Mon, 21 May 2012 19:27:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Michael Tine http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/never-measure-yourself-against-perfection/#comment-77638 Michael Tine Thu, 10 May 2012 19:04:41 +0000 http://www.aharrisonbarnes.com/?p=735#comment-77638 Hello Sir Barnes, I always read your articles, but this one is a great lesson according to me. I found out why it's so necessary to listen to my elders and other people who get knowledge and are wise. The other idea is that in this life every person must remember his past and measure himself while forgetting what others are, do or get. I can add this: in my life I never have measured myself by others or focused myself on what others people do, earn in their job, their homes, and their wealth. All I know is that I need to learn, work, and pray everyday. I also know that I need to be myself everywhere and everytime with everyone, because after all, God is the only Creator. Have a good weekend! Thank you! Hope to get more articles from you! Michael TINE Hello Sir Barnes,

Right now I feel like I am stuck in my career. I am continously educating myself but the oppunities are so few. I am unemployed but I am not giving up my education although I sometime think its a waste of time. Thanks again for sending me the story. I have truly learned alot from the above articile.

I have been struggling with much of what you write about and have been unable thus far to put my law degree/experience to work in a way that is compatible with my values,with who I am and the simple things I deeply desire for myself and my family.

I would add to this, the advice not to look back in disappointment, but to look at the present with energy and the future with hope. In spite of the BCG counselors repeated emails to me that I am outside of their criteria and therefore must pay for my age and experience compensating someone to be my recruiter, I soldier on. At some point, someone will scrutinize my resume and champion me for my flexibility, wisdom, experience, and quality, all at a very reasonable price, with no partnership expectations.
