If you give me rice, I’ll eat today; if you teach me how to grow rice, I’ll eat everyday — Gandhi
Following society’s processes traps us in them: we get brainwashed, accepting what we’re given. As such, observing for the flaws in processes & working between them is key to learning how to “eat everyday” on our OWN terms.
Every process set out by a company has been created by a human. Given that it’s another “human mind” that’s crafted these, we can all work them out: “they” are no better “than us”, unless we comply to give them that power, so don’t! Moreover, we can then figure out a “bypass” so that these processes “work for us”, instead leaving us a slave to “working for” a process.
An analogy could be, the same as trying to maximise a “points system” for airmiles, or a supermarket clubcard. At one end, the service & options offered to you for your hard earned points is terrible, so, you must CHOOSE to NOT to spend them there. Instead, you focus on optimising earning points, then search how to use those points to your max-advantage, omitting what isn’t good. This takes trial & error through testing/learning what the “layout” of an earnings system is, to see how it works (or doesn’t). But once you map that out, you then search for opportunities that give you the biggest “Return on Points”!
Never will this be “made obvious” to you, b/c no institution wants you to “see the most optimal deals”, as that “reduces” their profit. Hence, you could argue, they’d rather “feed you” a “bowl of rice each day”, so that you keep returning for more, dependent on them, than teach you how to grow your own & not need them anymore.
You can apply this principle to your career too. B/c like anything, if you stay aware, you’ll observe inconsistencies, which will make you better skilled over time, adept on “what the lay of the land is” & how to “milk” its processes by pin-pointing its ”gaps”. This means you’ll find a path between the “cracks” in a process, which is the key to winning amongst the deluge of “process” we’re faced with. So, go against the grain, b/c if you always do what you’re told, you’ll get no-more than what you’re given….
