The Path from A to B
Logic. It is a key to success in any and everything outside of the arts. Logic is the process of mapping a concept to a conclusion in a coherent manner. If we're speaking three-dimensionally, the shortest, and therefore most logical, path from A to B is a straight line. There is no pretense or ambiguity about it. No bullsh!t. Just a straight path and you're there.
If I ask you, "What is 2 + 2?" I don't expect you to give me some extended monologue about how you feel arithmetic, or math in general, eludes you altogether, and is therefore unimportant in your life (which actually proves what a retard you are for failing to learn a simple set of universal, and unchanging, rules). I expect you to give me the answer, idiot. Nothing more, nothing less.
The problem in the workforce is that many people will try to confuse you with phrases like, "Well....it's just not that easy," which is actually just another way of saying "I'm either too lazy or incompetent to figure it out myself." True, not everything is as simple as 2+2, but this is where logic becomes especially advantageous. Logic helps you keep sense of the madness, to find order amidst chaos, and to reach sensible conclusions. Still, I find myself sitting in meetings with people who seem to think it is more beneficial to the company for them to blab about some tangential path of idiocy they've conjured in their pathetic excuses for brains, than it is to reach a common solution.
I've noticed it is typically a result of egos and pride. Some douchebag thinks he or she has something to prove, and then his or her sole mission becomes killing an hour's worth of time that everyone else could have spent being productive. They purposely drive you down the wrong path, and then everyone sits around the room at the end of the meeting, eyes wide, confused as to why nothing got done. If you ever employ logic in your thinking, you'll realize corporate offices are completely devoid of it. Instead, it replaced by sheer complacency and utter nonsense. It leads me to conclude that at least half of the people in these offices are wastes of space, and contribute nothing to the company, other than overhead.
These folks might as well dress up as clowns and come into work to make balloon bicycles for the day. It actually might improve morale. They certainly don't contribute to productivity, so I can honestly say there wouldn't be any repercussions there. They are like rusted anchors hanging over a ship's walls. We don't need more than one anchor, so why not just cut them loose now and watch as they sink deep into the murky abyss? Free our ships from uncessary baggage, pointless conversations, and pride wars.
