Are you seeking the right structure or the understood one?

When all else fails, the understood structure is the best fit, not the right structure. (Share on Twitter)
We build and adopt structures to fix problems. Yet sometimes, the best system is that which is implementable and understood.
You build a house to fit your needs, not the other way around. Now you can adapt your lifestyle to it but to a certain extent. Someone used to the amenities of the city can’t survive in the wilderness. Well, probably for a day, and then they perish.
The same applies to our organizations and personal lives.
The best diet is not the one you think yields the best result in aggregate but that which is tailored to your circumstances and you can adopt properly.

A Poem: Resist the urge to Agree or Disagree instead Ponder by Carlo Mahfouz
Resist the urge to agree or disagree instead ponder.
Let the fear sway you
And the guilt tempts you
Let the joy lift you
Without a ceiling to break
Let the skepticism play
Without taking over
Let the criticism scrutinize
Without leaving anything alive
Resist the urge to agree or disagree instead ponder.
For in the unexpected moment
Shall arise a seed
From outside your knowing
A beacon of wisdom will pierce the veil
From where it’s not clear
From who is even more obscure
Yet resist the urge to agree or disagree instead ponder.
