About This Quote

A useful thing to remember when you encounter a boring person is to think of them as a trap. That way, people won't be fooled by their ineffectiveness and ineffectualness. Sometimes, if you see someone who isn't very good at something, it can be helpful to think of them as useless instead of boring.
