One Hundred Minutes Per Hour

[admin]

 

Once upon a time a bunch of people in France got angry.

So angry they decided to run around chopping off people's heads.

This, of course, was the French Revolution.

Problem is once a gang of revolutionaries start to kill the nobles, it's kind of hard to stop.

Kind of like thinking you're going to eat one spoonful of ice cream.

Or one potato chip.

But when those angry French dudes finally stopped killing, they set up a new government.

But as you would expect, they were still kind of excited about their new country, after their revolution.

So some of the ideas they conjured up didn't fly so well.

One of them was the idea of turning TIME into the metric system.

100 hours per day.

Hundred minutes per hour.

Hundred seconds per minute.

I suppose it sounded good in theory, and maybe a few clock companies thought they might make bank, but most people quickly realized how foolish it was.

Lots of us do that.

Not have bloody revolutions, but we come up with ideas that SEEM good at the time, but in retrospect, we gotta ask ourselves:

Dude, what were you thinking?

Everybody knows the famous line about insanity.

Doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for a different result.

Unfortunately, we humans don't have very good memories.

So that, "doing the same thing over and over idea" only makes sense in the short term.

Because on the LONG term, we DO do the same things.

Over and over and over again.

And since the LAST TIME we tried them was so long ago, we actually think THIS TIME it's going to work.

So even if it IS the same thing, we don't quite remember the last time, so it FEELS different.

Even worse is when we try the same STRUCTURES over and over again.

Because it's even harder for us to notice STRUCTURES, we try the same unsuccessful structures over and over again.

But since this same STRUCTURE is tried in different areas, we don't really recognize that it's the same.

So we keep failing.

If you've ever tried to achieve something difficult, and have failed, you aren't alone.

Most people continually try and fail. 

In finance, in personal relationships, in health areas.

And since SO MANY people keep trying and failing, maybe there is something deeper going on.

Maybe it's the STRUCTURE, not the people.

Maybe there is a much better STRUCTURAL WAY to get what we want.

What might that way be?
