I feel as though 50/50 is an embellishment from an era too long ago. 50/50 generally would be the minimum you’d expect from another person however…. If I’m asking someone for their bare minimum at which point does it become harmful or seen as derogatory towards someone to only offer 50% of yourself instead of all of you? When did that become normal for some people? Are you taught that way? Or were you born that way? Is it a natural way of thinking as if you’ve not experienced how detrimental 50% of your effort can feel?
50% one day, 100 the next, maybe 67 the following… it’s a give and take thing. For everything.
You can’t tell me that in every area of your life you give 100% all the time. That’s like fast lane to burn out. I’ve never experienced nor met anyone that’s ever been able to to such a thing. Does that mean while working and giving 100% that you’d ignore the call from the school regarding a sick child? Does it mean that while on a date giving 100% you’ll ignore your family if they wanted ten minutes of your time?
Fraction of your effort and time is over rated and rather stupid to say the least.
Don’t give me 100%. Give me effort. That’s all.
