Guess Who's Wearing A Mask ?

You can buy this.....
and buy a can of spray paint, and do this.
OR you can read what I really wanted to post about..........
Impostor Syndrome sufferers are high achievers who secretly believe they have been overestimated. They fear that at any time the "truth" about them will become known. Impostor Syndrome: They’re Productive Overachievers in Everyone’s Eyes but Their Own -
The Impostor Syndrome
Yes or No
  • Do you secretly worry that others will find out that you're not as bright and capable as they think you are?
  • Do you sometimes shy away from challenges because of nagging self-doubt?
  • Do you tend to chalk your accomplishments up to being a "fluke," “no big deal” or the fact that people just "like" you?
  • Do you hate making a mistake, being less than fully prepared or not doing things perfectly?
  • Do you tend to feel crushed by even constructive criticism, seeing it as evidence of your "ineptness?"
  • When you do succeed, do you think, "Phew, I fooled 'em this time but I may not be so lucky next time."
  • Do you believe that other people (students, colleagues, competitors) are smarter and more capable than you are?
  • Do you live in fear of being found out, discovered, unmasked?
Do you wear a mask ?

I answered 'yes' to 8 out of the 8 questions, I guess that means I win !!!!
..................how about you ???
[ shall I save room for you on 'the COUCH ?']







I know I wear masks at parties.
For those of us who scored HIGH, here are Words To Live By;
  • Perfectionism has nothing to do with getting it right. It has nothing to do with high standards. Perfectionism is a refusal to let yourself move ahead. ~ Jennifer White
  • The secret of creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. ~ Albert Einstein
  • Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects. ~ Woodrow Wilson
  • I was gratified to be able to answer promptly. I said, I don't know. ~ Mark Twain
  • Don't agonize. It slows you down. ~ "Non-perfectionist" Isaac Asimov
Did you score high ????

About Renée Finberg

I have been in this business since the age of 22.

I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.

Design Challenges are great.

And because of those challenges

I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,

Designed and Manufactured Furniture,

Created Fantastic Window Treatments,

And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues

With my unique style.

If I can't find it, I create it.

My rooms would make excellent movie sets.

I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.

Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.

Just Great Design.

Just imagine how it would be if each of us,

If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be

Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,

The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.
