Doing it Wrong.

Of course, if you Do It Wrong in a way that is correct enough, eventually that becomes Doing It Right. If you Do It Wrong in a way that is actually wrong, well, nobody ever hears about you.

I'm coining a new term here for when I see content like this: OST. Or, Simply: "Think."

It is sort of useless advice, though. If you're the sort of person whose inclined to "do it wrong", you already are. If your not, simplistic advice isn't going to help you find the one correct way to do it wrong. You'll just end up wrong.

I love anyone who writes about ignoring conventional wisdom and popular belief or advice.

Sometimes it is OK to post articles with minimal content, too. But not always.
