Description

In our building in Castroville Hurry, it's a communal apartment block. And there are very set times to put different types of rubbish out different types of trash. And there are like three or four different bins of maybe five bins you know glass paper, etc. And you have to put them out certain times, and if you don't put them out at the, at the right times then letters come through people complain. It's really annoying, but that's fair enough. And then, the problem is the who that the bins the communal bins are really, really small. So they like they're not big enough for blocks of apartments with lots of people living in them. And the person in charge of the apartment block would say that if you can't leave rubbish in bags outside of the bins, next to the bins they have to fit in the bins or you don't leave them there at all. And if you have rubbish outside then the council will find him. And when we said to him, why don't you get bigger bins he says I can't because the council supply the bins. So this is ridiculously stupid situation you know the bins are too small, they don't get all the rubbish but you can't leave the rubbish outside and if you're not quick enough to get there when the bins, when it's the right thing day for that particular bin, then everybody else has filled it up and you've got no chance. And it was just making me think about this idea this concept of crusade or comply, because you get really annoyed about it, and it's very easy to get annoyed about situations like this or other situations. And at the end of the day, you really actually only have two choices, you can either comply with it and do what you're meant to be doing. Or you can actually crusade against it and I don't mean complain because this was three choices really it's crusade complain or comply comply. You just fit in with what has to be done you know it's the cost of living wherever you're living it's the cost of doing business wherever you're doing business complaining gets you absolutely nowhere but annoys you and really takes it on board and gives you you know changes your mood and changes your viewpoint on on where you're feeling at the moment and he's just a complete waste of energy. But the other one is crusade. If you care about it enough, then you must do something about it but not complain actually do something about it, you know, be that person that makes the change in the council be that person that makes the change in the community, or whatever it is that you're that you're, you know that you're fighting against so to speak, whatever it is that you want to make better. So, it just made me think there's yeah three choices actually not to really, I just automatically discount complaining but it's crusade complain, or comply. Or maybe complain comply Crusade, maybe put it that way. There's just no thought that came to me and I wanted to share it with you, you know, when next time something bothers you decide which of those three that you really want to do complaining i think is useless complying might be the best option because at the end of the day it might not just be worth hassling about just, you know, fall into line and get on with it. And in other ways you might want a crusade. And that is, you know, that could be your own art you know making a career out something you really care about, or you know whatever it is the new product that you're building within your company or whatever it is. So, comply complain, or crusade. So that idea for you. Hope you find that useful.
