People don't make themselves perfectionists, they're born that way, or made that way. Being a perfectionist can be good, but can also be bad, just like being too relaxed. Everyone needs balance in their lives, and a lot of perfectionists just don't know when to stop. Or they can't. I wouldn't want to be a perfectionist, and if it's just something you want because you think it's cool, I don't think it'll last long. It's not fun being a perfectionist! Just be yourself. :)

The term "perfectionist" is not a term that is used to compliment people in any way. A perfectionist is a person with such high standards that they cannot be reasonably attained by mortals. Usually they end up friendless in a mental ward somewhere, after a chain of failed projects.
I'm hoping that you want to be a person who has high standards, one who wants to do the best possible job. That is an admirable personality trait. This is a person who sets reasonably high standards, and then finds way to achieve them. They do not settle for "it'll do" very often, certainly not when it comes to important things in their life.
I'd buy "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." That give you a great start in the right direction.

I am a perfectionist in many areas, but not really by choice. Things bother me unless they are exactly how I want them. Basically, I keep working on something until I get it right. Example: my house (cleanliness, decor, lighting, etc).
I'm not sure if it's a learned trait or something that is just within your personality.

I think most perfectionists are born. Although I'm sure you could make yourself one.
Just try to be perfect at everything you do.
That would be how to do it.

Well, too bad. IT ISNT good to be one. Its bad to be like that. Its not good for you. It makes you a cranky bit*h. People that are like that take meds to help control it, so why would you willingly want to be like that? Thats just stupid.

I would start with spelling and grammar.
Dont = Don't
its = it's
asnwers = answers
Thanks requires ending punctuation.
