You don't wanna be imbalanced in your risk/reward, amirite ? That means you are mediocre ?
Balance always leads to mediocrity. Balance means mediocre (in the middle).
Very thought provoking.
Let me counter: the African proverb “if you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together”
A long distance runner must be super balanced to sustain their distance
I think you can say the same for content creation in a sense
Have you got a good example of when being balanced meant your achievement was below par?
A long distance runner is absolutely unballanced. They have very little muscle and fat. A balanced physique has moderate amounts of muscle and fat.
Analyze any area and you will see that only extremes and excellence win every single time, never balance.
Oh interesting. I wasnt thinking about it from a physique perspective
🤔
Not so. Balance entails holding dynamic opposites in tension. Those opposites can be at extremes.
