I recently received a t-shirt.
I don’t know who it is from.
I don’t know if I will ever wear it.
But for what it lacks in fashion, it makes up for it in intriguing.
Have a look …
How many of you read it incorrectly.
Then when it told you that, how many of you realized you had read the acknowledgement of your mistake incorrectly as well?
While there are many scientific reasons for this, another reason is our seemingly endless obsession for speed.
Speed trumps everything these days.
We’ve been led to believe speed lets us do more, achieve more, become more,.
And while I don’t doubt there are situations where that is true, it is also leading to more mistakes, more misunderstanding and less appreciation of what we have and should enjoy.
I accept I am literally the last person who should say this – just like I accept this is rather a deep conversation for a t-shirt that has purposeful spelling and grammar mistakes – but the genius of it is that it tells us we have made a mistake by making us make another mistake which forces us to accept we are addicted to the rush rather than just idiots who make the odd slip up.
