      If you’re not good at the thing others expect you to do, you may be good at something else.

        But you might still get fired for being a leaky bucket? Thus not getting the chance to water the path anymore?

          Lol. But that bucket isn’t going to get fired because it provides balance and still almost doubled the woman’s carrying capacity.

              Yeah, if the woman is lucky.

              But the woman in this comic doesn’t look like she’s rolling in spare money to replace a buck that still mostly works.

              (Having to spend time to carry water on a walking path isn’t usually a signal of extravagant wealth.)

              She probably threatens the bucket with replacement daily, though.

      Inefficiency may have positive side effects to the point of being not inefficient at all, but different

      Don’t throw away the bucket, think how a little flaw may be beautiful and even useful.
