Lower your standards.

By lowering your standards you can appreciate things more. Think of it. If you have high standards it is harder for you to appreciate things. For example you go to a comedy bar, the comedian is funny to most but to you it just doesn't cut it. That comedian doesn't meet your standards.

I just I do have high standards in things but not people. I prefer to get the best I can buy but I just sit and listen to see where a person's " level" is a accept it!

I don't think so. If standards are my target, why do I reduce them? I will keep my standards and I'll appreciate things following them because these are only for me, not any person.

I agree with you but partially. Taking your example of a stand-up comedian, if the act is good then i will react positively but if the jokes are of a poor standard then i will not laugh.There are people who will laugh at anything but i simply cannot subscribe to substandard comedy and this attitude of mine reflects in other fields too. I don`t say that i am a snob but if something is reasonably good then i will appreciate it but not if it is of bad or poor quality.I am not a perfectionist, because nobody is perfect, however i do appreciate good work.
