I think this also touches on a 80/20 type scenario. For many professionals that take serious time and experience to have achieved. Anyone could probably have done 80% of their job with minimal training. It's the smaller less common cases that matter and make it up.
It's easy to be a general when your winning. Perhaps there are no wrong moves. But to be one on losing side and turn it around requires I think a special type of person or experience.
It reminds me of a 1990s movie where some rich people make a successful and non successful person switch places and prove many things are a matter of circumstances more than most.
But then again watching recently The Most hated woman in America, reminds us how much an individual can pioneer something.
- rahimnathwani 10y ago"It reminds me of a 1990s movie..." Maybe you mean Trading Places (1983) with Eddie Murphy. The title has two meanings: - 'Trading' as in stock trading - 'Trading places' as in 'swapping places' I didn't notice the second meaning at the time, as the phrase 'trade places' isn't common in the UK.
- iamacynic 10y agointeresting. i didn't realize the first meaning until today.
- Namrog84 10y agoAha. Yes that's it! Enjoyable movie. Coincidentally, just rewatched it last year. Would recommend.
- lostboys67 10y agoReally the second meaning Is obvious in uk English and is used in the UK regularly.
- rahimnathwani 10y agoI don't recall it being common back when I first saw the movie, maybe 1985 or 1986.
- lostboys67 10y agoIts quite common to say I wouldn't want trade places with him.
