The beauty of imperfection | Alexandra Smith | TEDxBreda

When in 2013 Alexandra's business wasn’t going well, she decided to go on a quest: in 100 days she would document everything she did to double her monthly income. The result was an honest, inspiring book with a great deal of failures that ultimately lead to her success. In 2014 the book got a weekly sequel in nrc.next. Alexandra inspired a lot of struggling independent professionals in Holland and proved that storytelling is the ultimate way to bond with people. But it’s what you share that makes the connection on a deeper level: nobody connects with perfect superheroes.
Writer and speech coach Alexandra Smith (1975) grew up in the ghetto of Amsterdam. Over the last decade she helped many best selling authors, speakers and entrepreneurs with their stories. She has a wide range of expertise in communication, media and theatre.

I had severe chicken pox way back then and guess what? My dark scarring never goes away. It’s kinda permanent that i even got depressed(a bit) but i am already tired feeling this way so i accepted it and still trying to embrace it. ♥️

Its ok to have imperfections and its ok if someone find that out. You dont need to look perfect in someone's eyes all the time.
