“LET’S REINVENT THE WHEEL”

We have all heard the saying: “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?”
Others will say of an alleged “new idea” , let’s not reinvent the wheel.
All too often, due to various reasons, there will be the tendency to get hyper-focused on something that is unproductive.
I find when this happens; it is usually borne out of:
1. Boredom
2. Lack of vision
3. Distraction and focus away from the obvious things which need to be done instead
4. A need for attention, approval, and applause by taking the easy -way, and pretending one has finally corrected and completed the arduous task that was neglected by those less-enlightened.
A new super-hero is self-created every moment.
The end result is usually a “WHEEL of sorts “, that has been reinvented needlessly.
All in all, it’s simply a WHEEL. Yet, one can be assured, this WHEEL was more thought out, more microscopically studied, and with more astute awareness , than the original so-called wheel-maker.
5. Laziness, because it is easier to try and reinvent the wheel , than fulfill the glaringly obvious laborious, neglected duty staring one in the face.
Ps sometimes I’ve found my best motivator is to complete the task I don’t really feel like doing first so I can eventually do the fun stuff. Ha
Yet, to reinvent the wheel is not only unproductive and fruitless, it is UNNECCESARY.
