9-1-2011 Mindset - Impectfection / 心态 - 不完美

Another story of Monk AB.
He build a brick wall consisting of 1000 block of bricks. 
As this is his first attempt, he meticulously set the bricks and completed the wall in a few days.
Then he scrutinized the wall brick by brick & he found two blocks not perfectly set.
He agonized over this two ill-set bricks spoiling the whole wall.
One day a visitor came & look at the wall. Visitor remarked on the wall saying it is very well done. 
Monk AB pointed out the two ill-set bricks.
Visitor said: O! But it is only two out of a thousand. The wall is still very well done. 


From that day onwards, Monk AB stops agonizing over the imperfection but instead admires the whole wall as a well done effort.


He is no longer unhappy when he passes the wall. 


Imperfection? All in your mind!
