We often do things
because we never ask why we do them. Instead we frequently find ourselves realizing that:
We do them because
everybody else does it the same way.
We do them because
we have always done them that way.
We do them because
we don’t have the time to think of something better.
We do them because
it feels like we should.
We do them because
we’re supposed to do it that way.
We do them because
people expect us to do it that way.
We do them because
people would think we were “strange” if we didn’t do it that way.
We do them because
it’s the only way we know.
We do them because
it’s a “rule” we have always followed and we’re afraid to break it.
Maybe it’s time to
ask “why” you do the things you do and if there is a better way to achieve the
results you want.
So go ahead and ask "why"...and break soem rules along the way
