Capping Success and Failure or Failure and Success

What ever order you put it in does not really matter to me, but it might make a difference to you... Do what you wish here, though I might care about other choices you make, this is not one of them... Yet.

(Thank you... for giving me this therapeutic treatment, it is most wonderful)

Some of you know what I think about this, but I thought I put it onto paper, in a way of speaking.  (now the real question I've been asking myself, is why there has not been more gibberish in these most recent posts?)

Any of the Hows (a nice spin on a classic) anyway, onto the subject of Hand.  When the chance of failure is limited so is the point of success.  Now the ration that is is true will differ from product to product and idea to idea but the point is that a ratio exists in almost every case that I can think of (mind you at this time of night, I cannot think of many scenarios).  This is to say, in most every circumstance there is a limit of failure, or with most products there are jobs that the user just does not have to do.  Example a Keurig limits failure for the user, the only failure is in buying the wrong packet based on preference.  This is nice, simple and easy, it does most everything for you, taking you and what every coffee making handicaps out of the question. (You'll just have to trust me, no offense was made by that statement, it just seemed like the easiest way to say what I meant... if you have problems trusting me, take it up with me, or somebody who will inform me, and maybe I'll print an apology next time... Whatever).  The point is this, sure you cannot mess up, but neither can you have a great success.  However, if you use the included slightly less user friendly do it yourself pod, you increase the level of success while opening yourself up for greater failure.

This is not an unique idea, for it is only with great risk that one can have great reward.  However with the world becoming more and more simplistic for the every day man, I want to remind people of art and specialization.  When there are so many simple ways to do things that almost seem as incredible as what use to be considered art or a job taking great skill.  I want to encourage people to encourage people to pursue their gifts to become something great in their own way.  Put the time and the effort into doing what you are good at and do not take the short cuts and the easy ways out, because, effort can pay off... even if it does not on the market, it does when at the end of the day you know you did the best that you could, and you did so with the risk of failing.  Succeeding despite the risk, can be an incredible thing, and though the world seems to be forgetting that, I ultimately don't want to. 

PS. That felt really good, though it is quite idealistic I find it

 is easier to entertain idealistic fantasies late at night, 

sorry for all those realists reading this... But not really, 

I think I could use a bit more idealism, at least at times.

 

Stranger Buffer

This is a thing... or it will be... (I was called a trend setter today, so I'm going to test a theory).

So before you start using this idea, I better explain just what it is, because that just might be awkward to start a trend and have it be different for all the users and appliers of that trend... Kind of like a hipster (shudder).

The Stranger Buffer is the proverbial distance between people that allows them to reveal some things about themselves that seem personal.  For instance if I knew that nobody I knew read this, then I could explain and express all sorts of feelings, but since I know some of the readers (most of the readers) I do not want any weird conversations to arise from what I post.  The same thing can happen when you run into somebody on the street and end up telling them something you would not tell an "acquaintance" (referring to a friend you would talk to, but not much past small talk).  So as a stranger becomes somebody that you would add to Facebook, what they are doing is wearing down that buffer.  Or you are letting them in so to speak and it are the people that have just entered into the friend stage that you want to pick up gossip about you the least.  Not that you would not want to tell them anything face to face but you would not want people sharing secrets about you with them, more than a stranger or an equally close friend.  However as they move from acquaintance to close friend they start to build a relationship that allows for personal depth and sharing.

Any who... I don't have all night... or a whole book to type, so I think I'm going to leave it there.  This is going to be huge... possibly... (after all I really thought that two parts one post thing would put me on the blogging map, but it didn't)  However this time I'm going to share the link on Facebook... maybe... we'll see

PS. If you just came to this post through Facebook, you are what

I would call a success... that, or your mouse abilities are lacking
