I’ll never forget that ‘one session’- the one where Ken enlightened me with the something, nothing and brownie lesson.
It’s worth remembering…
Sometimes, something is better than nothing.
Sometimes, nothing is better than something.
He used an analogy that I have officially dubbed ‘The Brownie Analogy’ to explain what he meant.
Before I explain, let’s be sure we are on the same page for clarity:
- You like (or even love) Brownies.
- We are talking about the chocolatey, fudgy, gooey kind, not the Girl Scout kind….
A brownie on a plate – something is better than nothing… I mean, a glass of milk would be nice (assuming you aren’t lactose intolerant), and is it too much to hope for a napkin to wipe up the crumbs?
A brownie on a plate with poop in it – nothing is better than something. (I know- super gross!)
The lesson – in case you didn’t immediately grasp it – is that things are not always what they appear, sometimes the devil IS in the details, and just because something sounds good doesn’t mean that it is.
That’s it… that’s the lesson. Take what you want from it.
Until next time….
