I thought this might be a good time to talk about an oldie, but a classic to me. I say oldie, this image was posted by Frank on July 28, 2012. We worked on this one together… I think there was about as much of him in this one as there was of me. We often talk about the difference between need and want. Usually, the conversation goes something like this:
“Frank, I need this.”
“Will you cease to exist without it?”
“No?”
“Then, you don’t need it, you want it.”
I usually end up calling him a bad name under my breath and I walk away.
I think many of he items listed in the illustration are things that would cause a cease to existence. On the other tail, the things listed are what keep us getting up in the morning or in a cold sweat late at night. We all want a do-over, we all want guidance, we all want to know if what we did was right. Thing is, if what we did was confirmed to be right, it would have to be compared to something that was wrong, right?
Basically, this illustrations is this: whining about why you shouldn’t waste too much time whining. The more time you waste whining, the less time you have to try and figure it all out.
Th only “wrong” thing on this list is the bit about the duct tape. It has been scientifically proved that duct tape can in fact fix everything. If you don’t want to take my word, or the word of a gaggle of scientists’ words for it… go out right now and break something.
Oh, wait. Make sure you have some duct tape first. Once you have the duct tape, break something… I’m pretty sure that whatever you did, as long as it was legal, can be fixed with duct tape.
But what do I know, I’m just a squirrel.
