imperfection

Alphabets: I for Imperfection

Alphabets: I for Imperfection

By Glasshouse Helsinki 

‍It is crucial to understand the value of imperfection as it allows us to maintain a curious mind and a playful way of thinking. When saving us from perfectionism, it helps as to search for new solutions, make brave decisions and create innovations.

"A touch of imperfection keeps us realistic without losing joy, playfulness, curiosity and creativity."

Cherishing imperfection doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for virtuosity whatever our domain is. To create something meaningful we need to have time enough for concentration and specialization in whatever we are involved in.

It might sound paradoxical to flag-up both for imperfection and virtuosity. However, it is wort understanding that more of the same and wanted always turns against itself in a certain point. 

The pursuit of perfection leads to perfectionism resulting easily to boredom, limited thinking and superficiality. A touch of imperfection in turn keeps us realistic without losing joy, playfulness, curiosity and creativity.
