The Recipe Theory

[SamePendo]

Let's assume you don't know how to make cookies; you probably don't know anyways. And you have to make some yourself.

What do you do? You get a recipe book. Or online, whatever, you get a recipe.

Taken from www.popularcookierecipe.com

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 large egg
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• if desired, 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix sugar, brown sugar, butter and egg in a large bowl by hand. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be very stiff. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. The centers will be soft. Let cool for one minute then remove from cookie sheet and place on wire rack to finish cooling.

They are telling you how to do it man. Easy. If you want more detailed descriptions, simply because you're slow and/or stupid, there are more out there.

To the point: You are trusting the people from the website. They obviously know more than you don't you think? It would be a stupid thing to do to start doing whatever you feel halfway through, even if it doesn't look right, right?

For instance, maybe, when making the dough, you decide it is TOO stiff! So, you say, "fvck it!, I'm not going to listen to these guys, it's too stiff!" And pour some water on it to make it softer. Or whatever your monkey brain thinks about.

For fvcks sake, the cookie recipe is done that way for a reason, from people who know their sh!t. More than you and me, I assure you.


If the fvcking bible tells you to do so, you do so. Don't throw your special "touch" halfway through.

You've probably seen hundred of "This stuff works!", "I should have done what the bible says!".
On the other hand, "this is a fraud! It doesn't work"!

Well fvckhead, you didn't preheat the oven to 375 degrees!

Thats an extremely good point. The problem with intelligent people is that they think they can tinker with what works to make it work for them before they've learnt how to get consistent results.. The formula for success is imitate the best until you get consistent results, and then you can innovate and create your own style.. Too many guys try it the other way round.

Bullsh!t.

Absolute bullsh!t.

How do you guys think ideas and paradigms grow and evolve? I'll tell you; it's from guys like me, Rollo, Victory Unlimited and others who venture out and try new ideas and spin off from the tried and true, those of us who conquer and tread the beaten path and pave new roads from those. If everyone followed the exact same recipe for the exact same problem YOU'D ALWAYS GET THE EXACT SAME RESULT! Which, by the way, is not how complex organisms process and internalize information.

Otherwise, we're walking computers and nothing more.

I'll keep an eye for those 1000s of posts where AFCs say something didn't work out, simply because they didn't do it as they're supposed to and did it their way. If you ever complain about them, I'll bytch slap you.

I know that whatever I post here it is intended to give true lasting results. Positive results.
And often, they are not geared for the short term gratification.



What I do here is GENUINE.


The time I spend here is to give back and awaken my fellow brothers.



What I have seen

What I have felt
What I have read
What I have heard
What I have experienced


WHAT I KNOW



It's here.


Either you take my advice and suggestion, or don't

I still am growing every day, and I urge everyone to do the same.

It will hit you one way or another.

You decide.

I don't think you get what is being said.. Its about learning what works FIRST and then innovating and creating your own ideas to evolve.. Too many people look at this stuff and say, nah that won't work for me, I'll do it my way.. when their way didn't work in the first place!

Please re-read what I wrote.

In a nutshell;

DO NOT FOLLOW ANYONE'S ADVICE OR TECHNIQUE TO THE LETTER. EVER. MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCES, USING YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT, WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS AND MOST ENERGY YOU CAN PUT INTO IT.​

That should be more succinct for you brothers to understand.
