Ask Joe Analysis

422 Words2 Pages

Man, this isn’t what I was planning to write today, but it popped in my head, and I can’t shake it. I go through seasons of watching a lot of Gary Vaynerchuk videos. I’m listening to his Ask Gary Vee audiobook right now. While there’s plenty he says that I don’t agree with, I kept seeing this phrase pop up in some of his videos: Do. Fail. Repeat. I friggin’ LOVE that. Especially after yesterday’s episode of Ask Joe, where I talked about getting fired by a client. Most people have a major aversion to anything painful or uncomfortable. “Avoid pain. Maximize pleasure.” are words they live by. But is pain such a bad thing? Could you make an argument that pain is a GOOD thing? And if it’s not a good thing, could you at least make the case that it’s a normal part of everyday life? …show more content…

Hole up inside an igloo, isolated from world. But that’s not really true, is it? There’s pain in loneliness, and there’s pain in relationships. There’s pain in losing, and there’s pain in winning. There’s pain in doing the wrong thing, and there’s pain in doing the right thing. There’s pain in being out of shape, and there’s pain in exercise. There’s pain in being overweight, and there’s pain in sticking to a diet. Sounds pretty morbid, right? If your life’s goal is to avoid all pain, then yes it is. But if your life’s goal is to LIVE life, then you freely accept the pain with the pleasure. It’s a package deal. You cannot have unbelievable success (in business, music, or even relationships) without a big steamy pile of failure and pain. For every win I’ve had with Home Studio Corner, I’ve had a bunch of failures. For every great song I’ve written, there’s been an awkward

    Everyone has experienced pain, but we all deal with it differently. Some people try to avoid experiencing pain, for they are scared; while others accept their punishment and agony. Moral people tolerate their pain and trauma by making their traumatic experience meaningful and important. They learn from their punishment and try to provide insight. In the stories of Antigone and Boycott, Letter From Birmingham Jail, righteous people fought for their beliefs without violence and dealt with their suffering without hesitation.

    The same goes for an individual. Whatever option would bring that person the greatest pleasure would be the right choice and all other options would be wrong because they would be bringing them pain. Bentham states that when you consider an individual or a group then you can determine the value of the pleasure or pain felt in a situation through evaluating its intensity, duration, certainty/ uncertainty, propinquity/ remoteness, fecundity, and purity (41). This means that you can determine the amount of pleasure or pain a person will feel depending on how greatly it scores on these

    “No pain no gain”, echoes in my mind, as the hot sweltering humid air engulfs my room, baking me in the unbearable heat early one morning, during the summer after my freshman year of college. The thought instantly brings me back to memories of my childhood, where whenever I complained, my dad would retort “no pain no gain”. Back then, I hated hearing it over and over again. To me it was just something my parents said to stop us from complaining, and I never stopped to think why that one phrase was so important to them.

    Among the personal conditions of human suffering it cannot be cancelled, but only accepted and coped with. (Diehl 36) This source is basically saying that a person cannot just forget about something that pains them, but they can learn how to cope and deal with the issue at hand. Every person copes with their pain and suffering differently, like Sonny in the beginning uses drugs as a coping method and then shortly after he is released from jail he uses music as his method of coping. However, the goal in life is essentially death, but because death is so uncertain and everyone fears it we find ways to escape that feeling by using various ways.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of A Celebration Of Failure

    1397 Words  | 6 Pages

    Success is a Process of Failure: A Rhetorical Analysis In contemporary society, success is defined as a means to an end, a goal that is achieved when we attain popularity and profit. Dr. Joseph Loscalzo, MD, Ph.D. in his editorial, “A Celebration of Failure,” details how the modern understanding of success has come to define people, culture, and organizations. He argues that failure has an essential role in our experiences, education, and personal development and that position should be explicitly acknowledged as so. Loscalzo begins by setting the tone, cites convincing facts and statistics while successfully employing emotional appeals. He stays professionally in sync with the rules of his genre, through appealing to an issue relevant to his audience identifying facts to back up his opinions.

  • Preference Utilitarianism Theory Analysis

    1225 Words  | 5 Pages

    In this study, 17 patients each had a 120-degree heat simulator placed on their legs. Patients all gave varying numerical (0-10) values to their pain, even though the actual source of pain was identical (Science Daily, 2013). This study shows that everyone experiences pain differently, and, therefore, experiences happiness and pleasure differently. Hedonistic utilitarianism also requires, in certain circumstances, that we choose to make decisions that make us happier in the long run. This can be a very complicated task, and makes deciding which actions to take in everyday life, much harder.

  • That Would Be Enough Analysis

    939 Words  | 4 Pages

    In both “Non-Stop” and “That Would Be Enough,” Lin-Manuel Miranda conveys success as an idea that can control the actions of people. He shows that it can make some people feel like the amount of success shows their self-worth and value. To get to the top, it does not come without problems; it can create strained relationships and differing views to arise within groups of people. These songs show that success can cause contention and is a motivational aspect for people, and that it is neither a wholly good or a wholly bad thing; along the way, it will mean going through both of these, possibly being problematic. One way that success is shown is through the usage of phrases that show how some people take success as a motivational aspect, when

  • Response To The Giver

    204 Words  | 1 Pages

    We go through painful things in life to teach us lessons, because if we never worked for anything and everything was always given to us on a silver platter, we wouldn’t know how it feels to work for something and to get it. This is why our parents make us work for some things, I have to do chores at home and do some things for myself because I need to know how to take care of myself. If I want something I have to work at my job and get money to buy it. When I have homework to do or even just going to school in general, sometimes it may feel like a pain, but we go to school so we can learn and be intelligent. This is an example of how we go through pain for pleasure.
