Cosas de Libreros 59

Cliente: Hola ¿dónde están tus libros de arte pero sin monitos? Yo: Mis libros de arte están por aquí (lo conduzco al área) pero no entiendo lo de “sin monitos” C: Sí, que no tengan esos dibujitos que le ponen, monitos pues. Y: (Sin entender aún) Me parece que no los he visto con monitos. C: Como estos (toma un catálogo de Taschen al azar y me muestra las pinturas). Este tipo de monitos. Y:…

Good question hmm am putting this, timeline wise, after the war ended in Genesis, so Llib and Krypto are a bit more chill

They would be shocked, a bit relieved most likely

They had such a big fight while making them that they were convinced some of that hatred had slipped in and Caligo and Aestus would hate each other

Hence why they only met centuries after instead of when they were ´born’, they got separated in fear of another big conflict.

It’s Llib and Krypto

Since I mention them sometimes, and Caligo and Aestus mention them too in the rp (as their parents/creators)

They mostly look human, but their hair is crystal like

Oh and Llib look more like a woman and Krypto like a man, but both use they/them

@betabay: LLIB #230: Spend less time worrying who's right and more time deciding what's right. While this seems self evident on the surface, as I've thought about it further, I've found quite a few lessons and applications in this little anecdote.

1) Think of the last time you've been working on an idea or a business and found yourself talking about how your perceived competitors are doing 'it'. What if you spent that same time either evaluating what you thought was the best way to do 'it' or determining how badly you want to pursue 'it' your way. Success is primarily a question of commitment as most all endeavors rely execution over ideation.

2) What about a professional or personal dispute? It seems that most of the content of the conversation centers on who is right and who is wrong over what is the correct course of action to take together. Almost all situations have a middle ground where both parties can move forward better off than when they began. That must seem insanely optimistic for some readers, but I assure you that there is almost always a positive step forward in all disagreements. 

3) The strikingly apparent example is within our political system. I'm certain through speaking to various people that the majority of people want similar things for our country. But as we continue to focus on who is right, both through our rhetoric and our inaction, we loose sight of the fundamentals of what makes us human (this can be a different post entirely, but I wanted to use it as a bookend to this conversation).

  Over the weekend, I was speaking with some new (and old) friends in Seattle and I said something that has application when considering this idea...

   'Do we need to know who is right or who deserves credit at all?'

  My opinion is that no, we do not. An idea is a beautiful thing in and of itself and if it is mostly about execution, then where the idea comes from seems much less important (I could slide down the slippery slope of intellectual property law here, but I will refrain).

  For now, I will keep it simple.

    I challenge you today to listen for conversations where you're determining who is right vs discussing the desired topic at hand. 

  When this happens, try and bring the dialogue back to the 'what' without making it known that you consciously did so (we will all know you did it!).

It's always better to give away credit anyhow!
