much have been said about doing the right things vs doing the things right. can’t we be greedy and have both? is it so difficult to do the right things right?
i read this somewhere that’s worth sharing:
there’s 3 main criteria that we evaluate when making decisions: cheap, fast, good (i’ll be the first to agree that there are lots of other criteria, but this is just for illustration purpose). but the catch is, for most times, we can only choose 2 of the 3 criteria. hence the scenario would look somewhat like this:
1. things that are cheap and fast are not good;
2. things that are good and cheap are not fast; and
3. things that fast and good are not cheap.
sounds familiar?
you may be asking: what’s the correlation between this “illustration” with “doing the right things right”? well, here’s the cold truth; both scenarios are equally rare - they almost do not exist (nothing’s perfect, nobody’s perfect either!). so if you do happen to come across one, hold on to it and count your lucky stars!
well, enough with all the bullshit - the heck with what’s right; just do what you like!
