Perfecting Perfection

It seems that the world is now looking for the perfect solution.  A beautiful world where everyone knows everything.  Of course, that is not going to happen there is no such thing as a perfect world.  There is no such thing as the perfect cake or the perfect poem or the perfect anything.  What we can do however is get on with our lives, make the most of what we have and hopefully we will have lived a fulfilled and happy life.  If you are are unable to get a job, don't worry just keep trying and hopefully you will find something that you are good at.  We are all good at something.  Look at the para Olympians for inspiration, with people with disabilities for inspiration how can we not be inspired; motivating us towards a brighter better future for everyone.

We have all heard of the term 'you look perfect tonight', well maybe perfection is simply in the eye of the beholder.

What motivates you?

It was on the first day of training at a company I had just started for, I have to admit it was some time ago now  - I am respectful of privacy so won't mention the companies name but I don't work there anymore - and was extremely saddened to hear the reply from all the other trainees when asked the question "what motivates you?"  I thought I have either ended up with a bunch of sad losers or I'm in the wrong job.  Guess what each persons reply was...... Money!  I blinked and had to look around at the other people in the room. The question came to me and I was asked the same question What motivates you?  I said "Im unable to answer that question for so many things motivate me we would be here all day".  The others looked at me as though I had the IQ of a moron.  I have to say I learnt alot that day and funnnily enough I learnt it with the first three words that came out of the trainers mouth.
