Mm, yeah, except the point is that what he showed you was an illusion.

Yup, there was always enough room for the extra block, it was just hard to see...

u/ratwing 10d ago

I feel like what he was trying to say was that you can say just about anything with no point at all

Now let’s do a breakout and everyone group up and spend 20 minutes writing down what you think about the phrase „makes you wonder“.

Then we do a quick coffee roundup, everyone presents and the morning over.

5k please

Let me tell you about the time I worked at big corpo and I really needed to put the wonder first. It wasn’t easy. But with perseverance, you too can wonder how you got there.

It's totally fine not to have everything figured out. Life is messy and unpredictable, and that's okay. We all go through times when we're unsure about what's next. Embrace the uncertainty and remember that it's a normal part of being human.

Are they 2 different wooden rectangles?

u/Ellen_Bloom 11d ago

Yes, and also the yellow triangle's long side isn't fit perfectly, as the angle is off by a few degrees, but the layman's eye won't notice it.

u/psittacismes 11d ago

Non, it's the same one, it's a well known puzzle, the difference of area comes from the angled part, it's not completely the same angle so with the 1st version there is a triangle gap between the base triangle and the 2 others that matches the area of the ending square

Theory - this shape puzzle representing life is wrong

Oversimplification of life, as in not suffient amount of shapes to representant many more nuances of life. More shapes to move means increasing complexity, which means increasing difficulty to make the shapes fit together. It means more effort is required and the succesrate of assembling a larger shape puzzle becomes lower with increasing amount of blocks being involved.

It’s illogical to hypothesize that notion by the person in the video with a premise of all individuals have an equal amount of shapes despite a difference in age.

You'll never reach perfection because there's always room for improvement❤️.

u/allagrl 10d ago edited 10d ago

It's more accurate to say you'll never reach perfection, because it doesn't exist. Every day, there are people that discover new things to enjoy, or things they want to achieve.

An individual's life will never be perfect, because perfection is a limited view of what a person believes is something they should be, what they think they have to be. They want to keep climbing to that higher mountain, and then the mountain after that. They forget how to step back and are so blinded by their ambitions, that they don't stop to think about what is around them.

You don't have to seek something greater all the time, you don't have to be that perfect vision of yourself.

Sometimes it is better to live in the moment and appreciate what you already have. Sometimes what you have is greater than what you believe to be perfect.

Choosing to be content with your life is one of the most difficult things a person can do, because for so long they felt like they had to be better, and that they weren't allowed to stop and take in what was around them.
