"The man who says it can't be done shouldn't interrupt the man who is trying to do it." - Chinese? proverb


I couldn't have said it better.

There is a cliche for just about everything. Proverbs are not the same as reality. Here is one
A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study - Chinese Proverb
It is very possible to ignore wise counsel and persist with unachievable folly while immersed in chinese proverb nirvana or in the false belief that whoever is telling to desist from a course of action doesn't want you to succeed.
There are things that simply can't be done - regardless of whether you take an ocean of self-motivational koolaid.
Always assess advice, weigh its merits. Those offering it may be wiser, smarter, more experienced than you, and they may be interrupting you from diving headlong into a catastrophic mistake.

If all humanity had this attitude we would still be living in caves scratching our balls afraid the sky would fall on us.
'To chart the uncharted and deliver novelty, originality and innovation... blood must flow' - me
 It’s what you learn after you think you know it all that counts.

I dropped out of class 8.And went straight to Gikomba to deal in clothes.I'm perturbed to hear that a manager earns sh38k and pays KRA's P.A.Y.E.In Gikomba we make more than that.Instead of you guys earning such small amounts of money while working for another man.Why don't you come to GIKOSH???

Curiously.. Say you work with a group of 10. Would you rather earn 200k when everyone else is earning 350k OR would you rather earn 100k when everyone else is earning 50k?

That will help define how you perceive wealth.

I would rather earn 100k. Reason is in economics. Buying power.

Of course makes more sense to make 200k than earn 100k.

The moment you get your 200k and they get their 350k and all of you go to the market to purchase goods and services is the moment yo'll know why some of us favour 100k.

You're assuming that you're the only people in the market. My take is this is in today's Kenya and you're in an office. Why should you choose to earn less just so you can out earn your office colleagues?

I would rather earn 200k as my nine colleagues earn 350k, as long as I am still far better than the next highest earning person in the market (outside my workplace).
A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.
