Assumptions Lead to Failure

I'm a thinker.

It means surface level conversation is a real challenge for me. Someone will mention the weather and I'll start talking about how a rainy day affects society. It really annoys some people, but others appreciate it.

Yesterday I was thinking about the fact that some people don't think about some things.

They accept something as it is without questioning "is there a better way?".

Like when someone gives a speech and they begin with "Good morning, my name is Jane Smith and...". This certainly is not the best way to start a speech. I think most have already tuned out.

In this case, it's clear to me that the speaker hasn't thought that much about their introduction. They simply did what they saw others do and assumed it was right.

My point is this:

Just because every other streetwear brand you see posts only about their clothing and nothing but

don't mean you should too.

It doesn't even mean it's the best way!

So I challenge you today...

In doing the tasks you always do the way you assume they should be done,

ask yourself: "am I really thinking about this? Or am I just doing it this way because I saw someone else?".

Success lies on the other side of answering that question.

Truly,
