For everything that cannot be done right, there is always a reason. I am guilty of it too. “Reason” is pretty personal and valid. Time, cost, changes, or whatever.
The problem is, reasons are only valid until someone came tearing them apart. For someone, the reason is an opportunity in disguise.
The world rewards people who solve problems, not the reason for the problem. Knowing the reason is the 1st step to the solution.
Hence, reasons are all excuses and bullshit waiting to be eliminated. In extreme cases, I can challenge that one day1+1=2 will be broken, just like a hundred years ago, we realized the world is square and only exists in Minecraft.
And eliminator always armed himself with a lot of “why” and “try” bullets.
The “why” must be genuine. Only with true understanding, you will get the insight to eliminate the bullshit.
You also need “try”, maybe a lot of it. If you don’t try, you will never be successful. But if you try, you have a chance. The more you try, the more chance you have.
Yet, we need to be pragmatic as well. Because, if you are far from capable to solve the problem, the cost of solving might kill you before you have any chance. In short, the cost-value ratio is totally against you. In such a case, my advice is to pick another battle for better ROI. You can sell ice to Eskimo, but you should have a better volume, topline, and bottom line with Saharan. (But please be aware if you always think in this way, you never find your Saharan and be lost in the desert)
So, I don’t bullshit you, and don’t you dare to bullshit me. We can then work together toward a greener, cleaner, and more efficient world.
And never give up.
