Assumir a imperfeição é fazer uma escolha dolorosa e viver com ela, e procurar tirar o maior partido dela. Como na parte I, escolher ser rico, mas não ter saúde ou vice-versa.
Agora vejamos o que encontrei no Capítulo III - "The Imperfectionists - Finding the Sweet Spot between Flawed and Flawless" de "Hidden Potential" de Adam Grant.
"When I considered the traits of great architects, the first quality that came to mind was perfectionism....But then I learned that to be uncompromising, architects have to make compromises....Ando is esteemed for his ability to make the most of limited spaces with limited budgets. He's only able to do this because he fully rejects the notion of perfectionism. He knows that to be disciplined in some areas, we have to let others go. [Moi ici: Fazer escolhas dolorosas. Dolorosas porque quando as assumimos estamos conscientes de que estamos a abdicar de certo grupo de potenciais clientes. Os perfeccionistas são atletas do decatlo a quererem competir com especialistas. Não têm hipótese!] One of his specialties is being disciplined in deciding when to push for the best and when to settle for good enough....In their quest for flawless results, research suggests that perfectionists tend to get three things wrong. One: they obsess about details that don't matter. They're so busy finding the right solution to tiny problems that they lack the discipline to find the right problems to solve. They can't see the forest for the trees. Two: they avoid unfamiliar situations and difficult tasks that might lead to failure. That leaves them refining a narrow set of existing skills rather than working to develop new ones. Three: they berate themselves for making mistakes, which makes it harder to learn from them. They fail to realize that the purpose of reviewing your mistakes isn't to shame your past self. It's to educate your future self....Wabi sabi is the art of honoring the beauty in imperfection. It's not about creating intentional imperfections. It's about accepting that flaws are inevitable-and recognizing that they don't stop something from becoming sublime."
