    Thanks professor.I used to be perfectionist and I found there still impact my daily life.I contemplate for long period and I found the underlying traits are: lack of collaboration with people, tendency of avoiding extra action, fear to make mistakes and reluctant to embrace changes.But there is an old-saying C’est la vie in French. I think anyone want to success in their industry need to be okay with mistakes, brave to shoulder responsibility and embrace changes.The obvious example is your course named update schedule in ms project,our plan will change from day 1 and we need to adopt actions for continuous improvement, right?Listen, learn are so much important.

      Thanks for your detailed comment and yes you will never have a perfect schedule that works exactly as planned. You need to build up resilience and be able to pivot and adjust and roll with things not running perfectly. Thanks again as always

    I’m a generational construction principal in a small family owned construction business on an island near Seattle . No one in our company has any formal college construction planning so we have just organically struggled with all the points in your videos over the years .
    We build high end residential custom and have 4-5 projects at one time ongoing and we struggle every day and take it as a norm operating milieu

    Professor, I find your perspective on perfectionism in construction very interesting. When I started to manage construction works, I generally had high expectations of obtaining perfect results in the indicators of the work, quality, price, time and safety, however, perfection does not exist in this area, what one must be aware of is to tend to perfection, for example, regarding the quality of the finishes, it is necessary to understand that it is a product made by hand, due to this, it will not be perfect, so tolerances are essential to avoid creating false expectations and frustrations .
    Thank you very much for your videos, they are a great help, see you next semester in T161 at George Brown.

    With your permission, I want a complete project for designing a wooden building, architectural and structural, and structural calculations, so I can take it as a reference for studying and working.

    It is very hard to work with Germans exactly. They are very perfectionist in an annoying way.

      Gunther was a good guy overall just a perfectionist. I guess we all have our areas to improve on. Mine tends to be overthinking in some areas.
