Perfection
The feeling was amazing. Salary doubled. Induction program was going on at the new workplace. After working for 4 years in small IT companies at the salary of 10 -20 thousands of Rupees Anil got an opportunity to work with a Multi National Company.
Day by day Anil realised that he was happier in previous companies. Companies were small but result oriented. Here in MNC companies lots of work ethics, methods, processes. All of this were impacting on Anil's work. Because a sudden shift in results to processes is not easy. Finally one day within a month his team leader said you are 'wrong'.
The words 'wrong' hurt him. A First class student, an outstanding employee could not bear 'wrong'. His analysis said he is working for a good result as he was doing in previous companies. But in here MNC he has to work for good processes, not for a result as he expected. And this is true. In big MNC companies believe that processes are more important than results because according to general rule good results are an outcome of good processes.
In our friends, once this was our topic of discussion. Did Anil ask how to be the perfect?
I said,
"Perfection does not exist. Because It's a perspective term. one can say perfect other may consider that as an imperfect. More important is satisfaction. Why one need to be perfect? to get satisfaction.
But satisfaction is perspective. hence the perfection."
One of the friends asked how to tackle this problem then?
I said, "Basically this is not the problem. But it can if you don't change according to the comrades. Change is the ultimate truth of nature. Satisfaction for everyone is different. So try to reach that point where others become happy, satisfied. In professional life your company, boss precisely is one for whom you are working for. So the perfection is his satisfaction, till then you are wrong, imperfect."
Our discussion went on from one point to other, quotes to examples but everybody approved my thought of "perfection does not exist."
It is not about the person but every person. The global shift demands masters not jacks. Specialisation took the place due to increasing population. But meanwhile, the specialisation has changed its own definition from specialisation to perfection. Originally the specialisation was the baby of optimisation. That was the fight for limited resources and increasing population. Finally today perfection is more important than optimisation. Though the perfection is a vague and perspective term.
Six Sigma certification is not limited manufacturing industry today. Redundancy of this perfection entered into the arts and art becomes a science. Nobody doesn't care for any why! Everybody is running behind what and then how. Still, perfection is important.
Why perfection has more weight than optimisation. Optimisation is satisfaction.
Perfection demands concentration and time. But the graph of perfection versus time and concentration is the replication of the of cost vs quality graph. The meaning of the graph is simply optimisation is the best solution for effective quality and reasonable cost.
Moreover, the perfection is the art. What is an art? The Imagination. An art can be judged on the benchmark that has created by someone. But it does not mean you regret every movie you watch. Sometimes the movie you like may have shown poor box office performance which obviously means mass crowd has denied the creativity. Then why do you like that movie? no answer because it's your perception and nobody can challenge your perception. Because you may publicly say what mass expect but internally you know that is not true. But the real point is you like the movie because it is perfect for you not for others. that satisfies your emotional feelings. what else we need?
The dark side of the perfection, To get more and more perfection the repeating one thing for countless times. but that kills the innovative skills, wisdom and excitement. Because the perfection becomes the innovation and innovative techniques never pop out of the brains.
