Book: The Gifts of Imperfection
Author: Brene Brown
When it comes to
self-discovery, the first thought in my mind is who I am. Afterwards, I start
considering what I really want. Thus, I go to borrow the book called “The Gifts
of Imperfection”, subtitled “Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and
Embrace Who You Are.” Actually, I am attracted by the subtitle. I always think
what I should do as my future career. However, the results are not satisfying
to me because those are not what I want and I will not be happy if I choose
them. Now, in my deep heart, I know I want to be a member of an airline’s
ground staff or dedicate myself to the hospitality industry. Nonetheless,
others may think I study in NTUST and why I’d like to do the so-called
low-level job. They may say I deserve to get better job. Their comments are
rooted in my heart and change my mindset little by little. Then, I begin losing
myself and listen to others’ ideas instead of sticking to my own philosophy.
After reading
this book, I know I am a perfectionist. I don’t follow the voice from my deep
heart because of my fear of failing, making mistakes, and disappointing others.
Thus, I get lost. In this book is a quote from Margaret, “You must first be who
you really are, then do what you really need to do, in order to have what you
want.” No one is perfect. What matters is how I look myself. I just need to be
who I am as well as what I want to be, and don’t pursue what others say about
me. That will be fine.
