Pretty sure I had a stroke reading this.

Pretty sure he had a stroke writing this

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

I couldn't find the words to describe my confusion. Thanks...perfectly stated.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Yup, that's one of the symptoms of having a stroke.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 28 points 4 months ago

The secondary lesson here is, sometimes it's better to not try and force in an analogy to be cute. People start arguing about the analogy and miss the original point.

[-] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 19 points 4 months ago

Even without the analogy I'm not sure what the original point is

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 4 months ago

I think one paraphrase would be to push the limits, but not to the point where you're the problem or asshole, and to use what you have at the moment wisely instead of waiting for the perfect solution to show up.

[-] lars 3 points 4 months ago

Force an analogy even if you haven’t figured out an applicable one yet

[-] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

Based ENTIRELY on the first statement...

I once had an accident at work that resulted in having my thumb nail ripped off completely. In addition to a few other injuries which healed after a few months, it took nearly 6 months to regrow my nail. During which time I learned having a finger nail helps give your finger "meat" something to press against, instead of literally trying to pick something up essentially with your bone.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Thanks for sharing that.

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Can anybody translate

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Adderall + procrastination = this post

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Adderall in someone without ADHD, no less.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Most likely ran thru a free translator by someone who can't speak English.

But the gist is you can't wait to have the perfect tool for the job, and you have to maintain the tools you have so you keep them.

Like, it's not just random gibberish, there is a point and logic backing it up along with an analogy tying it all together.

It's not like this guy is stupid, he just trusted a bad translator and should have known it wouldn't get something this complicated translated well

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Sure, there's a point, but these "LinkedIn philosophy" posts are still kind of weird.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago

ran thru a free translator

You mean "run through," right?

by someone who can't speak English

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

Why would he try to force an analogy where none exist?

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Dude was definitely recreating some ideas.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I know, right? He's always doing that.

[-] I_Clean_Here@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Indians, man. They the realest

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
