"El perfeccionismo es un escudo de 20 toneladas. Es una forma de pensar que dice esto: Si me veo perfecto, vivo perfecto, trabajo perfecto, puedo evitar o minimizar la vergüenza, la culpa y el juicio."
— Brene Brown
Simplified Meaning:
Trying to be perfect all the time is like carrying a very heavy shield around. This shield can make people think that if they act without flaws, they won't feel embarrassed or get criticized. Imagine a student who spends hours making sure their homework has zero mistakes. They think this will mean their teacher and classmates will always praise them and they'll never feel bad about their work. However, this constant worry about being perfect can be exhausting and stressful. In real life, nobody can be perfect all the time. Accepting that it's okay to make mistakes can lead to a happier, more relaxed life and can help build better relationships with others. Instead of focusing on perfection, trying your best and learning from errors can be more beneficial.
