I realized this very obvious thing, and from that day on, teaching others was no longer a farce.

Always.
They feel threatened, it's not just a way of doing business, in their mind it's a threat to the whole sport but in reality it's a threat to their livelihood, their job, a threat to the way they do things, and whenever that happens, whether it's a government, whether it's business or whatever, the people who hold the reins, who have their hand on the gearbox go out of their minds.

There are not problems and solutions, but facts and consequences.
Until one of these consequences occurs they are all statistically valid, some more, some less.

This aspect generates other possible consequences and eliminates others that are decidedly more unlikely.

“Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it’s there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It’s a wave.
And then it crashes in the shore and it’s gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it’s one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it’s supposed to be.”

The problem with ”whiners” is that they hope that along with them everyone will fail.
In fact, if one succeeded they would no longer have the excuse of crisis but would be forced to admit that it was all their fault.
And no one ever wants to do that.
They would rather blame the system, the ”my industry is different,” the corona virus.

They will hate you because you are the symbol of their failure.

You cannot expect to understand a situation by looking at it from only one perspective.

# 75

In other words, if you just rant that what you think is the right thing, you will never change anyone's mind.
So, the one who has to change is you.
If you are convinced that your proposal is right, you will have to exploit the ”wrong rule” to get the ”right answer” accepted.
All it takes is a coat of paint and you can camouflage it into an opinion with which everyone will agree.
Thus, without distorting the essence, you will be able to get your proposal accepted.
