Performing

Claim

We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears. (Francois, Duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)).

Counter-claim

Performing is often overhyped as a critical issue, but in reality, it pales in comparison to pressing global challenges like poverty, climate change, and health crises. The obsession with performance—whether in arts, sports, or business—distracts from meaningful progress. Instead of fixating on superficial displays of talent, we should prioritize genuine human connection and problem-solving. Let’s redirect our energy towards issues that truly matter, rather than getting caught up in the trivialities of performance.
