Bridges and Car Parts: You can’t fit a Ford engine in a Mercedes

There’s an age old problem of parts, whether its with lightbulbs, car parts, laptop/PC parts, batteries, software applications, washing machine parts, drain pipes, or keys, door hinges, ikea furniture, or even types of complementary items such as washing fluid, to oils, replacing them is an absolute nightmare! 

We’re faced with difficult decisions of - is this the right part? Are the fittings correct? Will this version work with the previous? ..etc etc etc

The correct parts are rarely available, and then one is faced with having to buy cheap knock offs, where you then need to buy some sort of flakey inverter! (And then only for it to give up after a few uses, which then results in a cry from bashing your head against the wall, and finding the darkest corner in the basement/cupboard for it to eternally sit!)

For this reason: I have come to an almost resounding conclusion BRIDGES will NOT WORK in crypto. 

Ok sure cross chain utility, was a great idea, and for Lessons:

Always keep the high moral ground

2013

When you're making movements and causing friction, the kool kids, the (current) influencers, the powerful begin to realise you and invite you to their tribe.

Remember frictions cause fires - pick your tribe wisely by going for the ones that have the higher moral compass.

How to compromise; not sacrifice but value capture

     

    For a relationship, professional or personal, to maintain a healthy balance, trade-offs and compromises have to be made. But it can be be a difficult discussion to have, as in most cases neither side will want to 'give up' something, usually out of pride, or a sense of entitlement (arisen from effort and time). 

It becomes even more challenging, if there is some level of mutual respect, and lack logic.

Higher Value

The easiest way, I've found to resolve a point of differentiation, is to essentially figure out if that change of value for one party is of a higher value. By that, if they change, will it improve their quality of life? It's usually a bit easier in the business setting to evaluate value creation and capture.

However, within personal relationships with friends and associates, it can prove a bit more emotional. Upon, self reflection I always like to ask myself, will this change make me happier, or improve me physically, mentally or spiritually. 

In the the end, its always about levelling up, It may appear one side is having to 'sacrifice', more but really they are probably capturing more value from the the relationship, than the other.

Friends = Values

When you look around its obvious there are lots of different types of people, where 'success' has different faces, but lets just assume there are different tiers of success, I have come to firmly believe, one cannot improve and grow, with keeping the same friends. Your closest friends and associates have moral and values which play a huge impact on your world view, decisions and actions.

Some of those friends, when you change, will notice it, and naturally, it may appear as negative; as really what it happening is, you are 'leaving them behind', so they may want to hold you back. But take the time to explain things to them, and constructively how the change makes you happier, and adds a positive impact in your life and community.  

If they still resist, your paths overtime will naturally decay, or they will make a scene to influence you. Be conscience, and ask yourself if the thing they are holding you from, adds value to you spiritually, mentally, and/or physically? 

Self-reflect

In times of individuality, and where 'independence' is the word of our time, many people maybe short-selling themselves from growth. Remember to always self-reflect, and question whether one is growing for themselves and their community, otherwise you'll get stuck. An easy way to do that is to reconsider those closest to you, if they are holding you back, don't be afraid to level up with some new friends.

Change - not always easy

The change, as with anything may not be easy at first, but after a while if you try to go back, there is a noticeable difference in the quality of life. Be aware to this, and make a conscience decision to not go back to that (old way).

Highest of Values

If one thinks at a bigger level, and imagines going to the highest order of values, ie the best of humankind, they'll find it leads to supernatural existence, ie a God. Hence, why it helps to have faith.

As a young'en

- being part of an outcast
- not having that many friends
- definitely not part of the cool gang
-....and maybe had the odd imaginery friend or two
- which most likely meant you had more chance to imagine and most certainly have a go at building a spaceship then getting a girlfriend!

this allows time for the brain to think, focus and mature in other areas which become useful tools for when reaching adulthood. Well for the guys at least don't worry about it - you are the luck few.

If one wished to decipher a plotting email, I would have read Harry Potter...in French! So a few tips for when writing an email, kindly consider a few factors:

1) it consumes time...so get to the point quick
2) consumes data --so be sustainable

What you need to do,

Think like a game of chess, so imagine and write for the 3emails ahead, with the first email showing all the options and then slowly using that as a wireframe to narrow down untill completion - (generally) try to keep it 3 emails of responses to achieve a task!

Get agile, every email should bring about a product action, and prevent someone from causing a ripple affect of inefficient emails - which means someone just lost lots of time from their life!

Be AGILE = consise, clear, to the point and considerately anticipate the reader of what they might have to think and do as a result of your email, so save yourself, the reciever and their reciever some trouble have an agile email strategy ;)

Btw..this blog is for myself first :)
