Reminds of this exchange from the movie Whiplash:
Andrew Neyman: But is there a line? You know, maybe you go too far and discourage the next Charlie Parker from ever becoming Charlie Parker?
Terence Fletcher: No, man, no. Because the next Charlie Parker would never be discouraged.
I am convinced Fletcher's attitude is not only morally right, but factually correct. The strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire.
- WesolyKubeczek 5y agoThere’s a bit of difference. Terrence Fletcher probably wouldn’t accept a comeback containing language just as harsh. And this is the important bit. I’m all for throwing many kinds of words around when working with peers. Once there’s a significant power difference, ouch. Unless you know each other so well you can safely assume you’re both above it.
