Tenacious and Oblivious

• bradleyland 15y ago
  "He said that he’s oblivious to why something can’t be done, or why something is difficult, or why someone doesn’t want something to happen." I'm calling BS on this one. I get it. It's about attitude. You can't let someone convince you that just because something is difficult, that it can't be done, but to advise young people to be "oblivious" to these facts is to send them to battle ill-equipped. There's the danger that the listener will walk away thinking that they should ignore anyone who tries to share valuable information with them as soon as the message becomes "this is difficult". Knowing why something is difficult has another name: experience. Being successful means seeing a way around the difficulty.
