Having perfectionist qualities is something either you love or hate. However it can be proven that having high standards reaps more benefits. After all, you can even achieve more useful traits such as discipline with high standards! Not only are you going to get more out of life or a career but it will also be harder to satisfy you, meaning you receive things at a high quality. Some might say perfectionists are self-absorbed and harder to work with-but this is nonsense and there's logical evidence to back it up. So start aiming for the best. You'll never know where it might take you!

Never being satisfied with your own work may sound negative, but in fact this even improves your personality. Pushing yourself to produce only the best quality work strengthens organisation, productivity and self-discipline. These are all traits a perfectionist picks up as they strive to do their best. After all, a person who is satisfied with mediocre work won't strive to attain those necessary qualities because they aren't as determined to do their best. After all, what kind of person is affable if they don't make the effort?

As being a perfectionist makes you a better person, it's highly likely that life will only send good things your way. From being a boss to going to a restaurant, being a perfectionist always comes in handy. If you only like things at a high quality, then others will make sure their work is at a high standard so you are satisfied. The same goes the other way-if you have to impress someone (e.g. a strict boss) then you'll be sure they'll be more than appreciative of the hard work you present to them. Not only will you be more likeable, but life will be more smooth sailing. Who wants to be associated with a procrastinator?

Those who might oppose perfectionists are usually procrastinators themselves. However, those people are the ones who fall hardest when life throws a challenge at them. If you can't be bothered to work at a high standard, contribute to your colleagues, or be polite enough to important people, then it's only you who suffers the consequences. Perfectionists are thoughtful enough to keep this in mind whenever they do something. That's why they'll make the effort to be amiable, cooperative and precise at whatever they do. At the end of the day, it's no wonder those who can't be bothered are despised-knowing that they lack enough care to help makes no one feel good.

Having high standards makes life smooth sailing. If you're satisfied with a boat full of holes, there's no wonder you're going to sink before you've started your journey through life. Not only do you become a better person, but you also motivate others to become hard workers and this simply results in a better life for you. From having your kids receive the best education to inventing life-saving devices others will thank you for being a perfectionist. Don't be a burden-be the saviour.
