FALSE NARRATIVES

​Some of these false narratives that I heard lately include: 

If you're not scaling up, you're not growing.
Growth doesn't mean scaling up.
Scaling up doesn't mean profitable growth, competency growth, and growing sustainably.
Don't obsess about scaling up when your current systems are broken and needs fixing.  

This is too much for a non-profit organization to ask. 
Leadership development is not too much. Being sustainable financially is key to survival and thriving is never too much to ask. It's not too much when a little step in the right direction is always something that can be done.

We have to stand for Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion.
Yes but not its extreme ideological wokism, which created more harm in communities, pitted people against each other, and invoked guilt and shame to the white people, as if it's their fault that they're born white is not cool. Guilting others is not a good foundation for accountability and responsibility, either. 

The removal of meritocracy leads to equity.
It doesn't. It leads to nepotism and dynasty (Woodbridge).We need more meritocracy, not less meritocracy to tackle the problems we faced in our institutions. 

Information is truth.
Information is just information. The interpretation, scope, and manufacturing of information could lead to truth or untruth. Think Facebook Algorithms' fuelling the Rohingya crisis.

Those who voted for Trump are pro-Nazis.
Wait, this is getting too much. Are you really sure what you're talking about? Those who voted for Trump deserve some respect too. They have a different opinion on American society and they use the power of the vote to make things happen the way they see it. Move on. 

We live in the dark age of misinformation and untruths. These narratives are insidiously wrong, pretending to be right or pandering to a set of agenda unceasingly. Wake up! Check out the messenger, the intentions and the motives behind.

If it doesn't sound right, it could be a lie. Wake up!
