Over your head

Once the water is deep enough that you must swim to stay afloat, does it really matter how deep the pool is?

Godin's message is to keep focus on the essential. That what matters.

If you mean oxygen, I can minimally understand how you read it.

Otherwise, your interpretation is impossible to decypher, to me.

A quote and message on its own:-) Some questions would follow, of course, old ones: what does really matter, what is essential (beyond oxygen, being practical)?

Marjatta 1 months ago:

;-) yes for oxygen. Godin is a strange guy. I admit I have sometimes difficulties to follow his mindset. You know him, so that is advantage for you:-). How do you decypher his message?

.."water is deep enough that you must swim to stay afloat" could be understood in different ways, e.g. one finds its way to stay up in business.

Yes, too.

Overall it has to be about fears, vertigo, something like that.

Or think about individual bankruptcy in business. Does it matter if your debts 500,000 euro or 1 million?

Or even, and this make it very concrete (no hidden meanings), my father: he swims as good or better than me in 1 meter or water, he would die in 2 meters. Just couldn't swim.
