What not to do

You know, this is funny in a stupid watching-a-train-wreck sort of way, but I think this stuff is counterproductive. We all know what not to do: what we have been doing all along. You know, that stuff we did that brought us to the point where we discovered we had to change.

So do we really need to watch this sort of thing? Let me explain it with a weird sort of metaphor. When I was studying a foreign language, the scarcest thing was time spent talking with a native speaker. By talking directly to that native Japanese speaker, even with our own crappy, limited skills, we begin to hear what the language sounds like, and we unconsciously start speaking like that, maybe just a little at first, but gradually improving towards sounding like a native speaker. But then we get into a classroom, maybe you get stuck in a classroom exercise talking to the worst student in the class. Listening to him speak is like listening to cats yowling.

Now here's the core metaphor. I always say, it takes 10 minutes of listening to a native speaker to undo the damage done by 1 minute of listening to a bad non-native speaking student.

So what I'm trying to say is, watching these chumps is subconsciously embedding that chump in your brain. It will take even more work on your game to undo what you just saw. Let's not do that, okay?

You can't try to convince yourself you don't need a woman in a marriage proposal. You either propose, or you don't.

I like how the post moved through the frame when he said "the things that divide us" for effect. A+!

Looks like the guy's trying his best with what hes got. What not to do is be a complete bitch and post this response.
