Thankful For Modern Medicine

It’s truly incredible. How you would have had to be treated in the best hospitals in the world just 100 years ago is vastly different from today.

There are so many things you would simply have died of back then, which are survive and thrive able today.

Thank your lucky stars that you live in this world today. There’s never been a better time to be alive.

Stay Focused

If you can do this one thing, you might change your whole life. Distractions can get you off track and it can be hard to get back on it.

It Takes A Team

Surgery. Not something you want to have to go through. Ever.

Yet, how brilliant is it that somebody figured out how to fix internal organs and other bits. So now rather than live with a life altering condition, you can be all sorted in a few hours as a day case.

We live incredible times.

Some People Are Tricky

There is a lot of complexity in some people. Often this comes from turbulent experiences, though sometimes it’s their desire for a fight, drama or control.

Spot these people early and stay clear as much as you can.

The Problem With Perfect

Perfect is a nice dream but an unwittingly deceptive goal. Dreaming of how things could be created or adjusted helps to inspire improvements and move society forward.

However, pressing for 100% perfection can be a fools errand and create more harm than good.

Trying to reduce the number of criminals in prison down to zero is a nice idea, but not very realistic. Solving the root cause of criminal behaviour will be better than trying to rehabilitate offenders. But even if that were successful, you’ll still likely have a few people that end up on the wrong side of societal norms and laws.

Trying to get to zero criminals ever again, Zero racists, zero traffic accidents, zero exam failures, zero bullying, etc is a wonderful idea. Perfection!

But let’s be pragmatic. We can do a lot of great things with 97% good. And we should celebrate this incredible percentage and learn to deal with the 1%-3% in other ways, as positively as possible.

Winning Arguments

If you use words to fight daily battles or demonstrate your worth (lawyers, professors, journalists, etc), you may sometimes, but not always, be over confident in your ability to solve problems and find sustainable solutions.

Because you can battle and defend your position, or even change your opinion and take the opposite stance, by using words, you may not realise real things can’t so easily be fixed.

You want to engage with people, or hire or elect people, that have a practical streak and aren’t just theoretical focused.
