Fascination vs. frustration
The Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, N.C., Thursday, August 20,1998 - Page 9
’ve been thinking about fas
cination versus frustration
la^ly. I read a brief article
that was quite interesting. It
staj-ted, “The problem is not
th^ problem. How you handle
th^ problem - that’s the prob-
letp. When confronted with a
prt^blem, you can become
eit|ier frustrated or fascinated.
BuJ; problems get solved only
wi|h fascination.” I thought
that was an intriguing
premise, so I continued read-

in^ to learn the author’s rea-
sor^ing. Here’s what he (or she
- the article was submitted
anonymously) said:
Frustration leads to low
en^gy, while fascination leads
to high energy. Frustration:
scajtered focus. Fascination:
outpointed focus. Frustration:
les^ curiosity. Fascination:
moi-e curiosity. Frustration:
dec^reased creativity.
Pat^ination: increased creativ
ity
ts I pondered the opposites,
I fecund myself agreeing with
the^. Then I thought of some
examples that apply to me.
When, in meeting after meet-
ingtpeople sit around and talk
abojut what needs to be done,
but no progress seems to be
acebmplished, it can be frus
trating. But, if I take a step
back and try to analyze what’s
going on, it indeed becomes
fascinating.
Why do certain people faith
fully attend the meetings and
offer wonder-
ful ideas and
suggestions,
while others
claim to be
interested in
the group’s
purpose but
never seem to
be able to show
up?
Why do
some folks
seem to be able
to effortlessly
organize a party or a reception
or a grand event, while others
can’t even remember that they
offered to help?
How can it be that some of
my friends and relatives
remember every birthday and
anniversary on time and oth
ers of us can’t even hit the date
within a week or two, if we
manage to send a greeting at
all?
These situations have the
potential for frustration, but
with a little effort they can
become scenarios for fascina
tion. So I’ve been trying to
raise my fascination quotient
and lower my frustration level
(as well as my cholesterol - but
that’s another story).
The anonymous author that
started me on this topic con
cluded with an anecdote about
fascination:
Frustration leads to
low energey, while
fascination leads to
high energy.
Frustration:
decreased creativi
ty. Fascination:
increased creativity.
“Thomas Edison was once
asked by a journalist if it was
true that he had experienced
12,000 failures before he
invented the light bulb. Edison
said that he didn’t fail 12,000
times - he
learned
12,000 ways
not to invent
the light
bulb.
Obviously,
Edison
didn’t experi
ence the
frustration
of failure,
but the fasci-
nation of
feedback.”
If Thomas Edison can per
sist to experiment, 12,001, sure
ly I can make it through anoth
er week of surprises, experi
ences, and potential frustra
tions and continue to apply the
fascination of feedback to
them.
I’ll also continue ordering
new books, and I promise you
who like books on tape a new
selection for your listening
enjoyment, soon. This week
we received several new chil
dren’s books, but only one
novel, Ann McCaffrey’s If
Wishes Were Horses. Next week
is bound to be better in the fic
tion realm.
Don’t forget to visit our
huge used book sale that
begins on Saturday, Sept. 19.
And remember too that the
Happy Bookers meet the last
Monday of each month.
