Pointless Advice

Oh, yes...of course, of course.
Do as you will...

And as a followup piece of pointless advise,
Be wary when someone asks you, "Do these pants look big on me?"


**Screamed from my sport car which is obviously compensating for something....the ego plates read, "ACKBAR"

 

Don't wear four-inch heels to an engineering internship.

 

Whatever you're planning on doing for the day - if it involves other people, make sure their schedules jive with yours before getting started.

 

Simply...
You can't handle the truth!

 

Be careful being ahead of your time
or everyone else.

While it's good that you're ahead of the game...often others will not get it yet.
And they'll act...thinking that you're wrong...that you're not working right.

You need to somehow figure out how to bring them into where you're going
OR at least CYA and give you some time...until you can get them there.
Heck, even slow down.
Keep them in the loop.

Cause being in pain for your solution or good view...is still being in pain.
I'd rather avoid that. (especially if they want your head )

And damned me, if that isn't one of the hardest things to do.
You don't want to be like Galileo

 

And to finish up my troika of pointless advice...

You know how they say, "Revenge is a dish, best eaten cold"...

Well, my spin that, is a bit more positive and productive.

When dealing with a dysfunctional or even bad situation and people.
Do a little Zen move or Akido...redirect the bad into a good...the negative to positive...the destructive & stagnant into productive.

I prefer to help...even after the fact, little things to assist, little things to push.
You'd be surprised how this undermines what's wrong...or hurting the plans & position of those who are doing bad.

For example, if there is a kickback scam going on, in sync with a used software and its vendor...and some on the inside. (and the app is BAD)
then you can simply give a suggestion to the right people to put in place a new better software which will help the rest...and make it better.
The bad software goes, the bad people get no more money...hell, they may even be found out after the scab is cleared.

There, you have used your powers and knowledge for good,
AND kicked the bad guys in the balls as a bonus.

Your "revenge" is in doing the right thing.

 

Many teachers "die" each year or suffer PTSD, screaming "It's for the children..."
Save the teachers, they don't deserve to be ground down.

School admins & clerks too.
They're human too.

Learned from playing inside the "game".

 

OK...I found a really cool Armageddon helper...The "Litchfield Lighter"
(yes, I know it was figured out before, but I saw it on Orange is the New Black)

REALLY easy.
You can start a mini fire...from a battery and gum wrapper.
How To Make A Fire With A Gum Wrapper And A Battery

Now, when I saw this on the show...I actually tried the idea out at home in the sick with Aluminum Foil.
It worked...kinda...it was missing something.
The battery heats up the foil quick (PSA - don't burn yourself it gets hot fast) ...but it doesn't turn into fire...just heat.
Then I realized you need something to burn...paper.

The gum wrapper is an interesting combo of foil and paper! So when you do the same thing, it flames...like a lighter or match.

BTW, you actually don't even need the gum wrapper, that's just more convenient.
You just need a battery...foil, to conduct electricity...and most paper or anything flammable. (make a campfire for example)

But nice to know, in case of "emergency" world ending but you are still still alive scenarios.

 

Don't just know the facts...understand the point too.

It's amazing how many know just the trivia, the tedium, without understanding the context and how it's applied.
Remember there IS meaning behind all those words...

 

Find the blindspots.
Even ask others to search for them for you and point them out.

Fill in the holes.
Color in the spaces.

If you know your weaknesses or limitations...then you can work them.
Not work-around, but account for...
And improve yourself in turn.

 

Let go of your evil inside. (anger, pettiness, envy, spite, hate, disdain, jealousy, despair, etc...)

It will eat you up...
