room for improvement

I’ve always been a proponent for self improvement. No matter which area of life it is in. Today, i was called in to deliver a mini seminar on blogging, a blogging 101 if you please.

The presentation was a team effort and done very well. The turnout was admirable, given we didn’t have much time to propogate the event notification. Next time will be better. But what i was most surprised about, was the fact that people liked the way i had delivered it. I had my reservations, and by the time it was finished, i was almost horrified.

I’m a perfectionist, and everything i do has to be perfect. Yet, im not given to much planning nor thought, which have been my biggest drawbacks ever. I’m training to become a professional trainer, and i need to give many more of these things to practice. And i have a long way to go.

I’ve recognized several things to improve about myself, and given enough practice, i know i will get polished very well. Its a journey, one i’ve wanted to start for quite sometime, and one which i will travel and inshallah conquer.

People compare themselves to other people, always trying to outdo them and become the best. I’ve got only one competitor, myself. Each time has to better, otherwise its not worth doing it.

    I am not quite a perfectionist but I also believe in top notch quality. I wasn’t expecting much from this event as we did it in much less time and I was treating it is as a test run for later, bigger events. It went beyond my expecations. I was reasurred that my team is brilliant and motivated me to take my vision to the next step with greater confidance.

    Good job!

    You need not be too harsh on yourself. Agreed that you are the best judge since you know what you missed and how best to improve on it - but if the people say it was great, it must’ve been! So give yourself some credit too. :)

    Mr Google Pakistan is trying to manipulate search results by commenting with “GOOGLE PAKISTAN” as his nick which is anchored to http://www.badar.com.pk/ instead of http://www.google.com.pk

    Gawd, cheaters and liers EVERYWHERE!!!!
