What does 'enough' mean to you?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 06, 2008:
To me, "enough" signifies that I'll stop trying to learn, understand, and compromise. I don't think I'll ever have enough. After all, I'm a virgo. We're perfectionists.

As a fellow Virgo, I will have to tell you that there will never be “enough” for us. We are too keen, too knowledgable, and have too much potential to actually have a cut off point for our endeavours in being all-knowing. I'm always trying to know more than the next person, even if it's a subject that I don't like. Besides, isn't it always fun to learn something new? How something works, or why things turn out the way that they do? Trust me, you cannot stop being who you are. What I would recommend is to focus on the things that you already do know, and to learn abou them still. That way you don't branch of to different things that may make learning seem tedious.
I'm so glad that you understand what I'm talking about. I love learning new things, but I definitely need to focus on some subjects of which I already possess a basic understanding. If I don't, I'll never have a highly specialized knowledge of anything. I'd hate to become “random but useless knowledge girl.” How humiliating.
Oh no problem! I knew exactly what you were talking about as well. Expecially in your last comment about being “Random but useless knowledge girl.” Unfortunately, us Virgos are prone to become those people as though it is our destiny. We know SO MUCH that you really couldn' t call us know-it-alls but just handy dandy pocket encyclopedias. I've been there before where I just have to know just a little bit more than everyone else to feel fully complete. I'm sure you've felt it where you don't like it when others are smarter than you. It's a major pet peeve of mine. I only get that way with other girls tho. If a guy is smarter than me then it's ok. But if it's a girl then I beat myself up about it and say, “Why can't I be just as smart as her?” It goes hand in hand with Virgo's perfectionism and skeptic criticism. ^_^
