Thought Tweet #942

by Rick Baker

Thought Tweet #942 Good things don't 'just happen'. First we do good things. Then other good things 'just happen'. Luck is what you make it. 

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

There's human being.

There's human doing.

And...

Luck is what you make it.

Thought Tweet #940

Thought Tweet #940 Don't underestimate what other people don't know.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Everyone knows a lot of stuff.

But...or...Then...there's an immeasurable amount of stuff that can be known.

Everyone has filled their brains with lots of stuff from an unlimited pool of information. Some of the head-fill is planned and intentional; much of the head-fill happens without conscious effort. And again, the pool of head-fill information is enormous in size...immeasurable.

So, while everyone has much in their heads the overlap between yours and theirs may be much smaller than you think.

Don't underestimate what other people don't know.

Thought Tweet #939 Sometimes it only takes a little prick to burst your bubble.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Criticism, especially pointy little pieces of it, pierces. 

You can gauge a person by the size of the criticism.

And...

Constructive Criticism is an Oxymoron.
