Misleading Examples

Date:

How many times have we fallen before learning to walk?

How many times have we lost balance before mastering the bicycle?

How many times have we failed before obtaining a driving license?

How many times have we swallowed water while learning to swim?

We often justify our failures by citing such examples of persistence and eventual success. And yes, these examples hold true. However not all examples work the same way. Some analogies can be misleading.

For instance, the idea of ‘falling and getting back up’ does not apply to climbing trees. No one learns tree climbing by repeatedly falling. No one ever says, ‘I learned to climb trees after falling multiple times,’ because falling from a tree can mean either severe injury or death. There is no in-between.

The point is, not every explanation or analogy that circulates around us is practical for real-life application. Not every example is relevant to every situation. What truly matters is understanding which lessons are applicable to our lives and where corrections need to be made. Let go of impractical positivity. Instead, embrace realistic and meaningful lessons that genuinely help in life.
