If It’s Not One Thing…

then it’s another.

If it's not one thing then it's another

There used to be a clock that was never right in a classroom at school a couple of years ago. Everyone hated it, but no one did anything about it. Until one day, a guest speaker came to class and at the end of it, took the clock with him, forcing the department to replace it.

Now students complain about the chairs. (Don’t worry, I vow when I’m invited to speak in that classroom I will take all the chairs afterward.)

Then it will be something else to complain about.

It’s a curios mindset: if it’s not one thing then it’s another. Those who have it care less about perfection. They don’t get distracted by the little things like a clock that’s not working right or part of a desk that keeps falling off when people even slightly touch it (yup, that’s my desk right now). What’s the point?

In a world of constant yin and yang, we’ve gotta decide at what point do we stop trying to change the little things that are bugging us and devote that energy to work we love. We can minimize griefs, but we will never be able to destroy them completely.
