OBLIQUITY
The “PLAN” was the most interesting chapter for me, because I experience this too much every day. The plans I make sometimes do not come real and I am disappointed of that every time it happens. May be we have to try to be more flexible while doing the plan. When I plan drinking coffee with a friend may be I find myself in a very different place. For example yesterday I had to be in University and join my lesson, but my son got ill and I couldn't.
Another part of the book was that we try to reach the success in shortcuts. But maybe the right way is to choose the best way, not the shorter one. For example when I come here I do not prefer the bus because of the traffic jam, I mostly walk to Epoka. I avoid the stress of traffic jam, and I am on time in the class. Sometimes the best way is the normal and the longer one.
Hi Nihal,
ReplyDeleteRegarding the plan, i would like to say that everybody has daily, monthly or yearly plans, and surely it is difficult to fulfill them in time and the way you had thought. But sometimes you succeed even better with momentary alternatives.
The shortcut is not always the best way you had imagine. We should try more effective and rational ways i think.
Thank you!
Following the obliquity logic, when you think about your goals, rather than making a billion in sales by year-end, it’s clearly better to think in terms like that of helping a dozen people to fix a problem, for example.
