I think we had a secret about this before.

Prolly, I think there's at least one person re-submitting super old secrets

TBH I've never really liked that sentiment. It's very pat. It's a good argument to use to convince people to practice and study, and practicing and studying is nearly always helpful in any endeavor. But I'm not sure it's actually *true*.

I've never actually heard of this as repeated sentiment, but in general I think it's useful - for instance, on the job a lot of rules relate to either safety or quality control, and with either of those you absolutely need to know the reasons behind the rules before you can break them without risk.

But there's also something to be said for gut instinct and new perspectives, and you definitely don't need to know something back-to-front to suggest new ways of working. You just need to be prepared for 'this is the way we do things' pushback, and to actually learn the old way to be able to justify why your new way is better. Otherwise you're just being disrespectful.

"Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place." is another good one. The reason or the past or the convention might not be good but it's there. And you need to know what it's doing before you undo it or do it differently. Otherwise you end up with cows in your garden three months later.

Or like that really scathing comment on Battleship earth: "The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why."

I don't remember that lesson in that book. But I don't remember many actually important plot points of that book (the love interest is a complete blank to me, so if the lesson was about him, I don't remember it).

I do remember it trying to claim that nobody really lives in the country with a nice house with a nice view, because the MC doesn't and therefore nobody does and if they say so then they're lying. I feel bad for the girl who lost the art contest because the MC was that self-centered, and she wasn't even a character.

The only thing I remember from that book is that the MC saves the president and ends up dating the president’s son. I can’t even remember the MC’s name.

(Anonymous) 2023-02-12 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's the basic plot yeah. The MC's name is Sam Madison, which I only the remember because one of the few things I liked about the book was that she was so proud of having a former president's last name that she shared random facts about First Lady Dolley Madison.

This secret takes me back. I used to love Meg Cabot’s books, but it’s been forever since I read a recent one of hers that I liked.

(Anonymous) 2023-02-12 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
I have never heard of this concept in my life.
