The ultimate seducer
Meet the Ultimate Seducer
“Good on paper” is a scam. It's that 2 a.m. infomercial, a hustler selling fake bags on the corner, a swallow-this-and-you’ll-lose-30-pounds pill. When something sounds “good on paper,” what that really means is that it sounds good to other people. And that's a sneaky and slimy swamp creature with which to tangle. Other people might be impressed by a "great" job title or "cool" opportunity or "nice" boyfriend or girlfriend, but if they're only good on paper, and not good for you? Doesn’t work in your life? They ain’t worth the paper they’re printed on.
"You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something—your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."
Even Steve Jobs, the ultimate futurist, knew you shouldn't ask the future for definitive answers. You can only trust.
