Perfection

When I watched the video, I reflected upon the difference between success and happiness. The girl of the video successes in everything she did. However, she did not necessarily do what she really wanted. Therefore, she wasn’t happy.

Moreover, I was encouraged by the video to doubt about what perfection is since even though the girl was perfect at playing violin and studying, she didn’t enjoy it. Is that perfection? Is perfection similar to happiness, or success?

When reflecting, I could also take the video to my real life since I felt identified with the case the video portrays, not because I am perfect in what I do, but my parents wanted to impose my future.

I was always good at math when I was at school because my father taught me (He is a math teacher), I had good marks and I got my best PSU’s score in math. Therefore, my parents chose me a career to study at the university (Civil engineering) based on acquisitive power and math. Nevertheless, what my parents did not know was that I do not like mathematics, so I just studied one year in that university since I did not like the career, even though I could earn lots of money with that profession.

Finally I was allowed to choose my own future and decide what I really want to do. I don’t know how successful I am, but I’m sure I’m happy.
