Not Going With The Flow


Few day ago read the quote "only dead fishes go with the flow"


My whole life i tried to go against the flow,born rebel i never learnt to go with the flow and i always tried to get the work done my way (at least i tried and failed sometimes and succeeded many time ),more or less i was satisfied with as things were going(a sound minded person doesn't need more than that),then things happen and you fell in the trap of the society that you need to change some things in the life to work it out ,you start believing the side of the story as reality,you try to go with flow,you stop fighting that hard that you used to be.you became so resilient to that instinct of fightback dies with that and all you got is metaphorical dead fish and flow of the society's opinion,the resilient against this simply doesn't works its not an option,its a sissy move just to maintain the status quo(my failed experiment).
The thing you really need is becoming anti-fragile; a word coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb,fragile things breaks under the stress they cannot sustain the volatile conditions of world so opposite of fragile wouldn't be a things that simply dont break but rather when you put under the pressure they should get strong,anti-fragile things have tendency of redundancy ,chaos and optimisation is not their primary goal they are unlike fragile things which are optimised for better performance in specific conditions and when such conditions change they perish,like a minimalist with fewer possession might perish to death if disaster ever came where as a survivalist will stack up loads of things which he might never need but if disaster will ever come he will not only survive it,he will thrive in it.
After long time this one for not being the dead fish and with spirit of going against the flow.
