Building off of yesterday’s “Think Like a Rocket Scientist” Daily Hustle book review, there is a section in the book where author Ozan Varol talks about how tests are not done to figure out everything that could go right, but rather everything that can go wrong…
Ultimately, in order to find the breaking point, we need to break it.
Damn, that’s a harsh reality right there…
Yet if we want to be able to build something that has the ability to withstand the harshest conditions the rigors of life have to offer, we have no choice but to simulate the harshest circumstances imaginable and find exactly where the ever so fragile threshold actually is…
Of course, Varol is talking about rocket science and specifically is referring to blasting a shuttle into space, but the analogies to just about every other arena of life are amazing.
Let’s take parenting for example… In order to figure out how much responsibility kids can actually take on, we need to constantly push them to the brink. In a lot of ways we need to let them “break” before building them back up stronger than ever before…
Rocket science, parenting & life are constantly changing and as we continue to explore the inner and outer depths of people and the universe, we have no choice but to continue to seek and discover “The Breaking Point.”
