You know, there is a force of mediocrity in the world. They like to drag things down. Stifle growth. Keep the status quo. And whenever you have a good idea, they come and pound on you.

If you look at it that way, skeptics are the ones actually pointing the way, illuminating the value of your endeavor. What do you think? ari Hello — came over from pinkblock’s blog carnival.

You know, there is a force of mediocrity in the world. They like to drag things down. Stifle growth. Keep the status quo.

And whenever you have a good idea, they come and pound on you. In the other words, good ideas always have resistance and skeptics.

So I’m trying to look at it this way. Does it ruffle the feathers of mediocrity? If so, that is an idea very much worth pursuing. Whenever there’s a naysayer and skepticism, I take it as a sign that what I’m thinking about have to be tried and pursued.

If you look at it that way, skeptics are the ones actually pointing the way, illuminating the value of your endeavor.

What do you think?

]]> Comment on Viktor Frankl on Suffering and Life’s Meaning. by brightdays http://brightdays.wordpress.com/2007/12/20/viktor-frankl-on-suffering-and-life%e2%80%99s-meaning/#comment-553 brightdays Wed, 11 Jun 2008 21:53:53 +0000 http://brightdays.wordpress.com/2007/12/20/viktor-frankl-on-suffering-and-life%e2%80%99s-meaning/#comment-553 Thanks for your comment Isabella. I think that Frankl was a strong person by birth, who through horrible circumstances rose to the challenge of learning through hardship, and was richly rewarded for it.
