And here you are again, wasting your deep and meaningful life on the trivial, silly, and just plain annoying. Yes indeed, hmmm…

hmmm – let’s see…. i made two comments that took all of about three minutes. I guess that almost meets the definition of “mulitple”. I came across this silliness thru stumbleupon, so i wasn’t exactly trolling. Don’t be so sensitive and so passive-agressively hostile.

And yet you took the time to make multiple comments on trivial silliness. Your life must have deep meaning to have the time to troll the net making making comments on trivial silliness.

That’s what i would have done – but the fly wouldn’t have made it easy… hey! maybe we can get another “deep thought” out of this along the lines of it’s a good thing to accept help when it is offered lol!

You’re not alone Emilio, though I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a stupid analogy. It’s just making rather a trivial point. If what you are doing isn’t working, maybe try something else. Duh. This tendency in people to elevate the trivial to some sort of divine inspiration is just silliness. And, sometimes, really annoying.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a very stupid analogy. A fly is not trying hard, because it only has one setting, go. The fly cant think like us, it can realize, o this is not working… I am going to try the door.

So why didn’t you catch the fly in a cup and take it over to the open door and release it?

This is a fun story to analogize working smarter, not harder. Also, definitely reinforces the need for outsourcing. Thanks for the read! .-= Bradley Gauthier´s last blog ..Beware Advisors: Seek Mentors =-.

Hi Ste,

Love the imagery. I am planning to create a Pictomin out of it. If you’d like i’ll send you the link when it’s up.

All the best.
