We weren’t good at fighting bears. They always won.
And I’m sure there was a group of people that thought getting better at fighting bears would be the best way to survive. But when that training kept not working…
Instead of focusing on getting better at fighting bears we got good at anticipating bears and learning strategies to avoid bear fighting.
While there are many problems that get solved by meeting them head on…some problems are worth avoiding so you never have to deal with them at all.
For instance…
Don’t focus on getting good at firing people…but rather, make better hires.
Don’t make it a habit of making the most of terrible shows…get better at saying no to them in the first place.
Don’t spend time coming up with better excuses for being late…instead, be on time.
