Perfect, Are you?

When one thinks he/she is perfect, is it their over confidence which might come off as arrogance or is it their amazing quality that won't let anything or anyone break them or put them down?

I've been thinking about this and also been talking to those who feel they are awesome and perfect. There were certain conversations with these "Perfect" friends of mine where i got really angry with them for thinking that way. To me they sounded rude and arrogant which made me argue for hours which usually had me ending the argument saying there will always be someone better than us in this world and hence cannot think of us as perfect. I say this 'cos clearly there will always be something to learn from others and something to improve ourselves on.

But on the other hand, this particular quality of theirs made them face so many situations without having to feel let down. I came to learn that these friends of mine did not cry over a break up, do not ever doubt themselves with "Am i capable of?" questions and have not given an opportunity to anyone to break their confidence. I noticed that even my hours of argument didn't bother or change their confidence one tiny bit. This was commendable.

Being a person who cry over break downs and worry about failure, the above quality of my friends tempted me to be the same. I even tried to repeat  the words "I am perfect". But it wasn't convincing enough to myself.

So I've come to a conclusion that I'll feel proud of myself for falling, having enough courage to get up and walk ahead. I will try my best to not let anyone break me. Will even think of myself as perfect in handling few situations. But will never ever forget that i still have lots to learn from others 'cos what's life if not learning.

  1. we call ourselves perfect when we are not aware of many things. how can we say we are the best when we know only handful of people? however, as you said this attitude helps one grow and face challenges. but then again, what is life if we don't cry over break downs or worry about failures?

  2. No one is perfect, except the almighty. Maybe the word perfect is not the right one, it's their 'conviction' in their opinions and about themselves in whatever they do is what makes them confident and not easily distracted by anyone. Even if you try to convince someone while selling a product that its too good a buy while you know that there are better things in market, if one is convinced himself/herself that the one in his/her hand is the best, then that conviction makes him/her look and sound perfect.And yes, as you rightly said, the mere feeling that i am perfect no matter what people think of me, makes you have that courage to rise above a failure. I myself had immense experiences in the recent past that made me right such a long comment. Really sorry.. :)
