The Shortcut Debate

from Pretty-Awesome Conversations

Pretty: “You know, Awesome, I think people are obsessed with shortcuts. Everyone wants results without effort.”

Awesome: “And what’s wrong with that? Even Google Maps gives shortcuts. Life should too.”

Pretty: “Maps give routes, not results. There’s a difference.”

Awesome: “Depends. I once took a shortcut in business and got a client worth three months’ revenue.”

Pretty: “And how many shortcuts cost you three months of sleep?”

Awesome: “Touché. But what’s your point?”

Pretty: “Shortcuts are fine… until they cut short your learning.”

Awesome: “Ah. So your problem isn’t shortcuts. It’s skipping the growth.”

Pretty: “Exactly. People want success delivered like Swiggy. But life is more like slow cooking.”

Awesome: “So what do we do then?”

Pretty: “Simple. Shortcut the noise. Never shortcut the journey.”

Awesome pauses.For once, he’s speechless.

Awesome: “Pretty… that was… pretty awesome.”

Pretty: “You’re welcome.”
