We Know It’s Broken

I was browsing through YouTube and found this video by Simon Sinek. Towards the end, he mentioned something interesting which I’ll paraphrase a bit below.

Right now, the dam is leaking, but you can’t just point at it and say it’s broken. We know it’s broken, but we’re also the ones up there fixing it. So we’re gonna get wet, we’re gonna get wet for a while.

It’s the same with every broken system or problem we face, you can’t just point at it and say it’s broken. There are a lot of broken things in this world, but we’re also in the process of fixing them. And you have to ask yourself, are you part of the solution, or are you part of the problem?
