About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

February 2nd, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Not really. I mean, I get the point, but expressing it as a venn diagram doesn’t make any sense.

This very true. It takes a lot of work, to make a change in one’s self.
February 2nd, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Not true. I want to slave away making pizzas for $7 an hour for the rest of my life. Wasn’t hard to get there.
But I agree with Mike, there must have been a better way to express this. The way it’s shown here, it seems to mean that there might be a lot of work in the job you have and in the job you want, which is “always true sometimes.”
I think it would have been better executed by having a vector from point A to point B, with the rest hopefully inferred by JH and our intelligent readers here.

This is also the reason I hate the trustfund douche that will never work a day in his life that hangs around the outskirts of my social circle.
February 3rd, 2009 at 12:33 pm
I hate to pick, but I’m with Mike. The intersection could also be labeled “you are where you want to be”. I strive to stay in that middle area all the time. Granted my goals change, but if I don’t want to be where I am today, I’ll never get where I’m going.
February 3rd, 2009 at 2:03 pm
this doesn’t seem like something that’s expressed well in sets.

Pure WOW stuff this is
February 4th, 2009 at 6:21 am
Erm, “where you are” shouldn’t be a whole circle, should it? I was thinking it should be a single point. Also, the ‘lots of work’ should be labeling the part of ‘where you want to be’ that isn’t shared by ‘where you are’, right?

This doesn’t make sense. Why bother using a Venn diagram here?
Just write “getting to where you want to be takes loads of work.” Obvious, not very profound, and not in graph form.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:05 am
How can you even say such a thing?????
How can any damn person on this fricking earth say fate is equal to descisions.
does a child born with no hands decided to be born that way?
did a father decide before suddenly dying of an heart attack??
hundreds of people follow ur blog.. how can u even spread such false optimism.. this aint optimism.. this is dreaming..
dreams sound sweet.. reality bites.

Agreed. The use of a Venn diagram is nonsense here, obfuscating a very simple point with pseudo-math. Very Liberal Arts Major stuff.

I agree with Mike and Alex etc.
This idea is very poorly expressed as a Venn diagram.
August 9th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
This diagram is completely wrong: The intersection of where you are and where you want to be is “No work at all.” In other words: if you are where you want to be, there’s no work (improvement) to be done. (And I agree with those who say that a Venn diagram is a poor way to represent this concept.)
