This 9 year old uses cardboard boxes and out-of-the-box thinking.

And gets out-of-the-box results!

He takes left over cardboard boxes from his father’s Used Car Parts store

and makes them into Arcade Games.

The video is 10 minutes long. (Ouch! … up to 2 minutes is my ‘limit’)

By 3:30 you should be impressed at his use of ordinary calculators.

By 8 or 9 minutes you might well have a large smile /tear in your eye.

Oh, did I mention he made almost $200,000 (£125,000 /150,000 Euros)

In   a   couple   of   months.

Now will you watch the video?!

Annnd, if a 9 year old can…

He staples the hat to his forehead so they can take the shot of him without his hat blowing off.

She memorizes a complete movie dialogue.

He learns from the maestro for many years.

All research and re-writes are done long before you read the article /book.

Ok, so?

All you see is people who glide through their jobs, effortlessly.

The actor, the author, smiling and relaxed.

We draw a silent conclusion that to succeed ‘all’ we need is a chance, a break, etc.

In actuality what you need is the sweat that prepares you.

Which you can do now.

Every day.

Immediately.

Rather than wait for someone to give you a nod.

You see no sweat because they already did theirs.

You?

If I don’t participate, I can’t lose … (or win!)

If I don’t ask, no one can say no …

(or yes… The 1st Harry Potter book was rejected over 20 times!)

Is that what you want?

To never win, never lose, never learn?

Unlike school, in Life you take the test then learn the lesson.

Falling is not the error,

not getting up, is.

Red scarves don’t bother me.

OK. If you say so. But why don’t you say Red scarves don’t AMUSE me.

Well, because they don’t.

When someone protests that something does NOT … why bring it up in the first place?

I gave a lecture on UFOs at a University.

I came in late and pretended not to remember which subject I was there to talk about.

“Flying Saucers!” someone shouted out.

“Flying what?” said I.

“You know,” they said, “Aliens.”

“So,” said I “why are we not talking about Purple Fluff floating overhead planning

to take over the world. That would be alien.”

Well there is no thing to deny there.

Something must initially be there, to deny.

Sooo, when you hear someone denying, you know it means the opposite.

That goes for you too, when you deny.

Careful, you might be trapped by this.

And not know it.

Everything, when pushed to its limit automatically ’reverses’.

People

A cautious person begins to have accidents.

“I don’t know what’s happening to me, I’m always so careful.”

An intellectual person makes wrong decisions.

A hard worker begins to produce less results. (# 188)

Plants

To grow, seeds need darkness… then light.

Technology(!): 

Postage becomes more and more expensive, then free: Email.

Everything reaches a limit, then automatically becomes its opposite.

Seems unfair.

You worked so hard at this, and then

It turns around and bites you.

Review what is actually going on

rather than continue what you think is the ‘right’ thing to do /be.

Because you’re right, either way.

Sooo, wouldn’t you rather be right in the way you originally intended

rather than the seemingly unfair way its turned out for you.

It’s pretty obvious that what you sow – so do you also reap.

Water the ground that has tomato seeds in it and you get…

Tomatoes, of course.

OK, so?

This is also absolutely true with your thoughts /attitude.

What results do you expect from basic concept-seeds that say:

* ”Ah well, I’m just not good at this. I never was.”

            * ”I always stumble. It’s just the way I am.”

            * ”I am shy /slow /dumb etc.”

Watering these seeds will result in getting…

exactly that back.

You shouldn’t be surprised, it’s what you now experience.

And you use that very non-changing result (Watering those seeds)

as some sort of proof that you are right, you are that way.

So to progress, simply start with a seed, no matter how small.

After all a seed is just that. A seed.

But that’s all you need to succeed.

“I am getting better and better at (fill in your subject /seed) as time goes by.”

Too simple?

Are you sure?

A person who doesn’t is no different /better than a person who can’t.

If you don’t read you might as well say you can’t read.

If you don’t take time for your family…

Take /make time to:

Relax

Smile

Play

Forgive

Apologize…

If you don’t spend money is the same as if you don’t have money.

I can always do it later is fine.

When’s later?

How do you (or anyone) show your personality?

Your words carry /broadcast only 10% of your personality.

Your Tone of Voice shows 35%

And your Body Language 55%

Ok. So?

Now that we are mostly communicating through emails, Twitter, Facebook and such…

where is your personality showing?

Saaay, you don’t think you are getting things done just by your words themselves, do you.

Say this:

I   didn’t   say   he   stole   the   money.

Using just words with no tone of voice this sentence has over 10 separate meanings /messages! (see # 147) Determining which one depends on your Tone of Voice.

I didn’t say he stole the money

I didn’t say he stole the money

I didn’t say he stole the money

etc.

Yet when sending email we transmit in the most basic form imaginable.

No Type style, no point size, no exclamations, no spacing, no italics, no underlining…

nothing that gives the reader a clue as to what “Tone” you want to add to what you say.

Is this your intention?

Because these forms of communication are simply not going away.

YOU have to change (gasp!!) if you want to improve your results using these basic tools of everyday life.

Practice, practice, practice just like you did with everything else in your life.

The excuse “Computers are new to me” will soon no longer work.

Caution: this one requires your active /mental participation!

Imagine you have:

* A Paper Computer that can solve only ONE problem…

What ONE problem do you want it to solve? (Play the game = get the results)

* A Magic Box

What would you like to find in it. (Any ONE thing!) (Play the game…

* A Magic Wand

What ONE wish would you like it to grant you?

* A Magic Shop

What ONE potion would you ask for?

* Promise yourself any ONE thing.

What would it be?

* What ONE good thing would almost everyone say about you?

As I said, this one requires your active /mental participation!

He sat in a straight backed chair,

in a quiet room,

dressed in a three piece suit,

with an appropriate back light

and read Shakespeare.

She jiggled into the room

dressed in a shear negligee,

lit the fire and

put on some background music,

flopped down onto her belly

and read…

Shakespeare, of course.

Why would you think she would read anything different?

Time to review your pre-conceived ideas?
