Be just perfect is a status mentioned by Haruki Murakami mentioned in his new essays.
When I was a child, I always want to be a master on everything. I wanted to get all high scores on every subjects in school; I wanted to play game better than anyone around me; I even thought one day I may be as good as a president to lead the country. Since I was at grade three, my Chinese literature score was just around average. No matter how many training courses I took to improve essay writing, I was still there. But I still thought I can be good at all other subjects in school.
In fact, although I don't want to admit, the life in school taught me I cannot be the top student in all courses, not only Chinese literature. I may even cannot be the best one in Chemistry after the secondary school. But it did not mean that we should stop struggling.
Yesterday, after reading the essay in his new book (Chinese version), I realised I can "be just perfect". I am just to the point that I am capable to do something but not 100% perfect (and there should not be any 100% perfect ability). If I am so good at everything, what should I do? Nobody can do everything since life is so short. Will it be a waste that these gifts are on myself? I think I would be panic if I am so talent but I cannot help everyone or I cannot make any accomplishment in the whole life.
With his words, I find I am quite satisfied with my life even I am not a millionaire (at least till now). Sometimes, I even have pity on some people born with talent. It means they would be deemed to do something different even they may just want a normal life.
This week's Joe: I played game "TalesWeaver"(TW) again although it is somehow an old boring game at my age.
So what do you think of it? Do I miss something? Leave your comments below...
