There's no point re-inventing the wheel.
Unless the wheel isn't able to hold up to the demands it's being used for.
Just as you wouldn't place bicycle wheels under a 4-tonne truck, you oughtn't use a tool or method that's not robust enough for the process that you're trying to run.
It's not that you have to make a teleportation device or attach jet thrusters to the truck (although that would be REALLY cool), you just need to use the right tires for the job.
If those tires don't yet exist, well, then maybe you do have to do some re-inventing.
Last-Minute Changes: Boon or Bane? Depends on You.
Last-minute changes can really throw you for a loop.
Especially if it happens without warning.
Now, you could complain and stubbornly try to stick to your guns as you ride it out, or you can purposefully look for opportunities to learn, grow, and test yourself.
One attitude will keep you resentful and wary of the future.
The other will keep you positive and excited for what's to come.
I know what I'd prefer to be.
Watching Masters at Work Have Taught Me Much
It's always a pleasure to watch a master at work who's passionate about his/her craft.
The calculated moves, graceful handling, and infectious enthusiasm all make the experience captivating and awe-inspiring.
I've seen them in many professions - painters, chefs, jewellery smiths, professional speakers, handymen, and more.
Even though they may not have time to explain everything that they're doing, I still learn a great deal from simply observing them.
Some day, I hope to join their ranks of mastery.
I don't know what it'll be in yet, but it's something I aspire towards.
Book Recommendation: 12 Rules For Life is Fantastic. Dr. Jordan B Peterson Makes You Feel Smarter For Having Listened To Him
Some people have a knack for making you feel smarter for having listened to them.
Not only are they able to summon facts and studies, they make their points in a logical flow, and explain complex words if they use them.
They don't shove emotional rhetoric down your throat, instead calmly explaining their views and expounding on them when asked to do so.
Because of how prepared they are when questioned, it's clear that they have thought through what they are saying.
One of these people, whom I've been listening to for some time now (on YouTube, primarily), is Dr. Jordan Peterson.
I find his eloquent articulation of what he believes and observes to be highly compelling.
Some time ago, I bought one of his books - 12 Rules for Life - An Antidote to Chaos, and am making my way through it, having to pause every now and then to ponder upon what he writes in it.
Though this isn't exactly light reading, it's full of thought-provoking information, laid out in Dr. Peterson's engaging style of dry humour. I highly recommend it.
