me: would it be bad to go ahead and completely out myself as a dork by wearing [a particularly dorky t-shirt] to IP class tomorrow?
friend: umm
friend: everyone knows you’re a dork already
friend: so wearing the tshirt won’t really do anything other than confirm opinions
me: doh. point.
do not be afraid to be who you really are.
Showing off who I really am sometimes gets in the way of achieving the goals I really desire. I’d rather be true to the goals than the outward manifestations of my personality.
But I hear ya.
ah, certainly, i do agree that when you increase the magnification at which you examine a situation, the increase in granularity does contribute greater complexity- such a decision borders upon chaotic systemic behavior and ultimately, may have little to do with whether or not the goals which are part that which defines who are, are met.
either way, you rock.
