What Are You Trying To Prove?

This post is a follow-up, in a way, to yesterday’s post. It is a little comical and light so that you can transition smoothly into your weekend. I want to share with you a conversation that I had with my dad not too long ago.

I told him about the movie, ‘The Secret’, and said that he should watch it. He did, and when I asked him for some thoughts and feedback he said, ‘It was interesting, but I hope that you don’t live your life from that’. That was a nice starting point for a good debate about the different experiences in life.

After exchanging different thoughts he said, ‘OK, I want to win the lottery. I can easily see it. How many times do I have to play and not win to prove to you that this doesn’t work?’ Ummm….

I’m not going to go into the fallacies contained in that statement today, but you should be able to pick up on a couple of things right away so I will leave that as a quick exercise for you.

Until Monday,

V
