So many contradictive strategies, approaches, advices, are being presented as the only way to go.
Strategies in general - about navigating life, business, money.
And because they come from individuals with authority and influence, people take them as a magic pill expected to solve their problems.
But as with anything in life, there are many angles and solutions to the same situation.
And it’s wise to remind ourselves that for a recipe to work, many specific ingredients have to be in place. And that you can bake a cake in different ovens and vessels.
Are you improvising when baking a cake? Or when taking someone’s advice - adapting to your situation?
(I personally never follow strictly cooking recipes.)
