Conventional Wisdom Is Not Even The Truth?

Conventional Wisdom Is Not Even The Truth?

What if conventional wisdom is false?

If you want to do better than average, do you think you will get there by doing more than average, or less than average?

  • Maybe try reading more books than the average.
  • Watching less TV than the average.
  • Eating better than average.
  • Exercising more than average.
  • Working harder than average.
  • Sleeping more than average.
  • Concentrating better than average.

If you really expect the results of your life to be any better than the rest of humanity’s average, you’d be smart to understand that sometimes . . . conventional wisdom is not even the truth.

-Andy Andrews, The Little Things
