Having grown up in South Bend with my dad a professor at Notre Dame, I lived the life.
South Bend significantly benefits from the University of Notre Dame with the large influx of visitors during Notre Dame football games.
These home games generate revenue for local businesses like hotels, restaurants, and shops.
Because of its huge athletic department, there are always many sporting events to attend.
Notre Dame has been involved in revitalizing South Bend neighborhoods through projects like the Eddy Street Commons, a mixed-use development with retail, dining, and residential options.
The university also provides a significant number of jobs for local residents including faculty, staff, and part-time positions.
As you can see, it’s a win-win opportunity for both the University and South Bend!
Perfectionism “can look like striving for excellence for the sake of excellence.”
It can be setting high standards, working hard, caring deeply.
Noting those are positive attributes. It is a huge asset for many professions — say, for a pilot or brain surgeon — but it can tip over into unhealthy behavior.
A recent book addresses this problem.
Written by clinical psychologist Hendricks “How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics And Perfectionists.
“There is a saying for self-help book authors, which is, ‘Write the book you need.’
So I did write it for me. But as a clinical psychologist at an anxiety specialty center, I also wrote the book for everybody else like me.”
I guess the simplest advice is, Be careful of being too much of a perfectionist!
Demanding perfection of oneself continually can make you very unhappy. No one can meet that goal every time in every aspect of life without being on a roller coaster of depression/satisfaction/depression etc.
Do your best and let it go. That is very difficult for this type of person but possible. Often it is “good enough.” You have to be able to let it go and get on to your next goal. Otherwise you will never be satisfield with yourself and an unhappy person to live with or be around.
Choose to be happy and enrich the world with your contributions.
New York City’s long-awaited, long-debated congestion pricing began on January 5, marking a new era for driving into Manhattan.
Passenger vehicles pay $9 per day at peak times and $2.50 at off-peak times.
Congestion pricing could generate revenue manycities are desperate for, while simultaneously easing traffic and improving air quality.
But legal challenges and President-elect Donald Trump’s opposition could determine whether it’s a blip or a new US trend.
The incoming president, who is originally from New York and whose Trump Tower resides within the Manhattan congestion zone, has been an outspoken critic, calling it a “disaster for NYC.”
Singapore has used it since the 1970’s. London since 2003 and Stockholm since 2007.
