โ๏ธ Sheriff Rick Grimes is an Idiot๏
Sheriff Rick Grimes, the lead character, is a fuckin moron. Millions of fans are on #TeamGrimes and cheering for Rick.
It says something disturbing that these idiots think heโs a hero. the person may be a walking, talking mass of empty rhetoric, bogus moral posturing, flawed logic, and cognitive errors.
Granted, itโs always possible that during this season Sheriff Grimes will redeem himself. Hope springs eternal. My comments here only apply to his leadership during the primary four seasons.
But as I watched them, I spotted that you simply could learn a lot from โThe Walking Dead. If you wish to succeed, just ask yourself, โWhat would Rick Grimes do?โ - afterward you go and do the entire opposite.
Donโt believe me?
Here are some great lessons.
โBusyโ doesnโt mean โproductiveโ Rick Grimes is busy. Busy. Always so damn busy!
Heโs leading a team bursting into an abandoned house in search of foodโany food, including pet food. Crash! Heโs leading his hapless followers into a darkened corridor to flush out the zombies. Zoom! Theyโre demolishing the highway to hide.
The only problem: plenty of the activity is wastedโฆand a number of itโs downright counterproductive.
For instance, dark, enclosed spaces are precisely the places you would like to avoid. The undead just likes to lurk within the dark then leap out and bite you, costing you a limb, or even your life.
All this action is great TVโand terrible management. Sheriff Grimes isnโt alone in his error. Too many folks confuse mere activity with acting. There arenโt any prizes for being busy.
Understand your mission โIโm keeping us safe,โ boasts Rick Grimes, while people drop around him like flies. โIโm keeping us together,โ he adds. But to what end?
Rick Grimes lurches between objectives and bounces between crises.
He offers no discernible moral or system. One minute heโs fastidiously respecting property rights. The other minute heโs torturing a prisoner for no obvious reason.
No wonder such a lot of around him ask why they must even bother staying alive.
Donโt overlook the plain If youโre searching for a lost child, shouldnโt you look inside that big barn across the field?
If youโre in an exceedingly big government scientific center jam-choked with dangerous biohazardous materials, and thereโs a large red punch in the wall counting right down to zero hours, shouldnโt you ask the one remaining scientist within the placeโa man who seems to be ominously, serenely dead along with his makerโwhat the fuck is happening?
The devil is within the details, some people say. Really? the small print has its placeโbut go searching and itโs amazing what percentage of people and projects and firms fail because people neglected the few really big, really simple, really obvious decisions. Often, theyโre too swamped by the main points to seem at the picture. Bad choice.
Learn from the experience Rick Grimes and his followers got too complacent at the farm. They didnโt take enough steps to safeguard themselves. They didnโt dig ditches, erect fortifications, or maybe pack a go-bag. Bad move. When a herd of zombies suddenly attacked, theyโd escape, empty-handed. โWe wonโt make the identical mistakes again,โ vowed Sheriff Grimes. Soon afterward they moved into an abandoned prison. where they didnโt dig ditches, erect fortifications, or pack a go-bag. Youโll be amazed at what happened next. So were they. Wall Street traders have a good old saying, as a money manager and financial blogger Barry Ritholtz likes to remind us: โItโs alright to be wrong; itโs not alright to stay wrong.โ The key division in life isnโt between folks that make mistakes and other people who donโt, itโs between those that learn from them and people who are too stubborn, foolish, or proud to try and do so.
