Carrots are for Eating
Feb. 28, 2021Carrots are full of nutrients, and they're really good for your eyes.
If you eat them, that is. But if you jam a carrot into your eye, it will probably hurt and be very bad for your eye.
Whatever you are consuming or using, some methods are better than others. And sometimes we dismiss things before we've had a chance to learn how to consume them properly.
- A stressed executive meditates for 20 minutes and decides "it's not for me".
- A 25-year old tries online dating for a week and declares "it's the worst".
- A project manager implements a new Agile system and quickly dismisses it: "it doesn't work."
It's tempting to classify things into 2 groups: "it works" or "it doesn't work." But maybe the buckets should be: "things that work for me" and "things I haven't (yet) learned to use well."
