Doing things the HARD way!

Post Reply New Topic

Dear alphacent,

Hail and well met, and ..... WOW ! !! * bows good greetings to you and to all present *

You and a bunch of others all share this trait, which is jaw-droppingly recognizeable with how I am too?!

Although a slight difference I see in some here is that you CHOOSE to do things the hard way. In my case, there are times when I'm simply UNABLE to do things the easy way. This goes even for such elementary childhood activities as learning how to snap my fingers, whistle, and climb a tree.

BTW, this is my first post. Someday soon, maybe after joining several other discussions, I may actually wander over to the introduction section and start off "the easy way" even though I've already started here "the hard way"? (If that's allowable?) * good-natured grin *

Anyways, it's So Cool to find people like yourselves here!

My own special spot in the "doing it the hard way" realm is a little more than "choose", and a little less than "unable" to choose not; feels kinda like an OCD thing? I tell myself that I could choose otherwise; but I do not, even when it would be more beneficial to do so.

[private="the_pheonix"]I've never introduced myself here at all. I just started talking one day, and never stopped. And nobody noticed!

Nobody knows who I am, and I prefer to keep it that way. Please don't tell anyone, the_pheonix! Don't worry, I won't blow your cover before you're ready to introduce yourself.

The ordering of things is often arbitrary; ignore if the order does not suit you. That's what I always do.

Um... Unless I'm unable to choose not to and I don't realize it. Perhaps I'm stuck in an infinite "the hard way" loop of never introducing myself, and I don't even realize it. [/private]

Good fortune,

sorry offtopic, just clearing that up with Liverbird

Hail and Well Met, Icarus Falling,

Bottom line when it comes to doing something the easy way or the hard way, the main thing is after all to achieve the goal, and if the harder way feels more comfortable, then it thus becomes in a sense the easy way.

You assume much and believe it as truth.

Sometimes, if I started out doing something the hard way and figure out an easier way, I'll continue to do it the hard way because it's become my routine. You know what I mean? That's the way I do it, and that's the way I'll continue to do it, even if it takes longer or is more difficult.
