Let's see if that would improve the concern. :-) So you're on blogspot too. I will be visiting your blog. See you around then.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682310322367124297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-58953976731233505942009-07-23T18:16:28.909+08:002009-07-23T18:16:28.909+08:00Hi Elen,

I seldom blog nowadays, but I do maintain some blog sites. Here is my blog address:<br /><br />http://indrasishblog.blogspot.com/<br /><br />(I don't have enough traffic on this blog) <br /><br />An observation.

That's a wonderful line. Precis...Hi Indrasish,<br /><br />That's a wonderful line. Precisely it's the 'journey that's important'. The search, chase, or pursuit means a whole lot more than getting there. The challenge lies in it as one puts in all he's got -- talent, knowledge, resources, planning, and the wisdom to do the right thing, et al.<br /><br />You have made a good stride in your writing goals by joining editred.com It's a good place wherein your work can be reviewed and evaluated by your peers. Their inputs are valuable to further improve your craft. Keep an open mind and try to learn all that you can from them. Sometimes you have to do a lot of editing before you can finally come up with a good product. Serious writing is different from simple blogging. In blogging anything goes. But in serious writing there are pointers and rules. Especially in grammar. The essential thing to note is the learning that you get from such a venture. <br /><br />Frankly, I didn't know that such a site existed online for newbie writers. Great! I couldn't leave message for you on your page tho as I was asked to register to put down a comment.<br /><br />I'd like to see your blog page (if you have one) for that piece you have written, if it's there. :-)<br /><br />Take care.

It's the journey that's important. <br /><br />I have been writing short stories for sometime and have written seven so far, on various topics, friendship, corporate politics, racial profiling, etc. I have published one of them. I would appreciate if you could take out sometime and read my work and leave your views. If you know any publication that would be interested to take some of them up for publishing, please let me know. It may be a magazine or a publishing house anything will do. My writing mayn't be extremely good but it can be edited by them. <br /><br />My short story URL<br />http://www.editred.com/indrasishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-44554178177178627402009-07-06T12:39:29.041+08:002009-07-06T12:39:29.041+08:00Hi Jack,

But I want to believe that in spite of doing or being the best, one would and should still leave enough room for more growth. <br /><br />I like these words from Dr. Burns ....... "...Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. .."<br /><br />:-) Not at all, Jack. Your 'long' comment is just what I want in the blog. It is such a pleasure and delight to see someone take the time to put down his or her thoughts to the piece written. It's appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks for the lovely visit.<br />Best regards to your family.<br />Blessings to you all.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682310322367124297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-62577579511686378572009-07-06T12:11:53.259+08:002009-07-06T12:11:53.259+08:00Hi Sapphire,
Oh maybe excellence can't be ...Hi Sapphire,<br /><br />Oh maybe excellence can't be 'boring'--if the observer focuses his sight on the outstanding effort/s a person puts into it. One flawed idea, goal, or dream becomes one exceptional piece of achievement through hard work and perseverance. That's amazing and truly deserving of emulation, don't you think?<br /><br />Well, some people do and don't. Meaning, it's how one looks at life. As Dr. Burns says... ".. Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to LEARN new things and move forward with your life. .." That is the whole point of the post.<br /><br />It's wonderful to see you again, Sapphire. You're a smart young lady so nice to chat with. Take care okay? Hope to see you more often. I wonder if you're in facebook? We could connect there too. :-)<br /><br />Blessings to you and your family.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682310322367124297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-45937740393546183812009-07-05T23:24:49.076+08:002009-07-05T23:24:49.076+08:00Ellen,

When working on a project within limited resources and time one has to see that everything goes as planned but should always take the unforeseen in the stride and change path accordingly. Perfectionism should not become an obsession. I have known a person who insists that dinner table be laid in manner that each plate and cutlary is at designated place not a milimeter this side or that side. One should strive for success but not accept slip ups as a matter of routine. <br /><br />Oh, very long comment. <br /><br />Take careJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-10695843756023479202009-07-05T18:37:43.000+08:002009-07-05T18:37:43.000+08:00It's so true. If you are perfect, there is not...It's so true. If you are perfect, there is nothing exciting about you. One becomes so predictable. <br />But then if perfection means being flawless, faultless and excellence, can being excellent = being boring?<br />When one is the best, it means no one is better than that person but then we do hear the phrase "better than the best". It indicates that if you are the best, you can strive to be better by out-doing or beating your own achievements. <br />I am my biggest competitor .<br />Same way, I can be MORE PERFECT than I am now - so I don't really think, perfection means the end :DSapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672564333327816895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871706160363829905.post-84029727121866592802009-07-04T22:40:34.766+08:002009-07-04T22:40:34.766+08:00Hi Rup,
