Self Help: Are you a weather proofer?

Self-Help: Are you a weather-proofer?

But what is a weather-proofer you may ask? A weather-proofer can serve a
good purpose. It is someone who can see detail, and look for what faults
there are in a house, so you know how to fix your house and make it
weather-proof. However, this is where the benefits stop.

Do you know some one who finds faults in everything and everyone. They
look and only see the negative and what needs to be fixed. These people
can be down right destructive to success and the success of those around
you.

To overcome weather-proofing, or to ensure that its effects are only
positive, first realise that it does have a role. A role that is very
specific in nature (eg testing medical equipment).

Secondly, recognise that most of the time, the smallest details really
don’t matter. If you know the objectives that you want to achieve, and
have a rough idea of how to proceed, then keep going. The worst thing you
can do is stop because of some small problems you or someone else has
identified.

Take weather-proofing comments for what they are worth. Accept them, then
make your own opinion if it is important enough to address or not.
