One of the things we all ultimately learn in life is to work with what works. To understand what works, we must pay attention to reality and how it changes.
A strength in one area can so easily be a weakness in another.
For example, when studying headwind and tailwind, you will realise that a headwind is desired in aeronautics, but undesired in sailing. Conversely, a tailwind is undesired in aeronautics, but desired in sailing.
If you insist on applying the strengths of the headwind in aeronautics to sailing, you will be fighting reality and reality is unforgiving.
If you insist on applying the strengths of tailwind in sailing to aeronautics, you will be working with what doesn’t work and wasting already limited resources.
For simplicity, I replace “headwind and tailwind” with “pull and push”.
Do not waste time pushing a rope, except you’re putting a thread into the eye of a sewing needle.
