These people Make Mistakes: Loans officers who never have a bad loan are so very conservative that they exceed the built-in allowances of their company. And turn down too many people under the guise that they don’t want to be seen as making a mistake in their company. Sales people who never have a ‘return’ are so conservative that they avoid any sale that is not 100% bulletproof. This results in a lot fewer sales than they would otherwise make. You, who strive to never make a mistake, avoid so many situations where you could actually learn “how to” rather than avoid “lest you”. All are mistakes! Inoculations / vaccines introduce the very thing that you are trying to stay away from, so your body can learn and build immunities. In future when you take on the LIVE equivalent you have no problem with it. The next time you instinctively avoid something, lest you make a mistake, take a chance and (possibly) make a mistake, if you see what I mean. ————————– These are related: # 21 Interpretation – 40 So What! – 45 Problems – 66 Opposites – 98 Third Time – 106 Plan B

158 Anarchy
What if no one is in charge?
That’s what happens when you destroy an idea someone has without putting forth an idea to take its place. Or fail to create one in the first place.
Then there is no idea.
As we create a new company (with ‘breakthrough’ smart health products!) we need a strong Statement of Purpose & Intent. Otherwise we have Anarchy.
What do you say when someone asks you if these products ‘cure’ this or that?
Without a pre-decided reply some people inadvertently mislead others.
But with a firm statement in place, all you have to do is follow it.
Same for a course of action.
If you shoot down a proposed course of action without proposing one of your own, then you are saying that NO action is better than action.
Try telling that to children.
Just telling them to “Stop it” does not work.
Don’t worry, don’t be nervous, … afraid etc, does not work.
However pointing out something they can do almost always works.
Same for adults, companies, friends etc.
The next time you want to say “No” replace that with something that can equal a “Yes”.
(Let’s go here, or Let’s do this, instead.)

154 Issues & Events
We recently changed our warehousing to a brand new start-up fulfillment service.
They had a lot of trouble getting it right.
That is an Event.
Had they continued to get it wrong, week in and week out, that would then become an Issue.
And of course the reverse is true.
The loving parents think that their child is going through a small phase.
They call each and every occurrence ‘just’ an Event.
People seeing it from the outside easily see this as a major Issue with that child.
In general, life is just a series of Events and not really Issues.
Don’t beat yourself up for an Event!
Make your decision how to respond by First determining whether it’s just an Event or an Issue.

153 All-At-Once
I helped a friend move some furniture. And felt a bit sore the next day.
If I move all the furniture I have ever moved over the years all-at-once,
I would be very sore and ache all over for quite a while.
It’s exactly the same thing when you take all of your thoughts that you could think on any one subject that is worrying you, and start imagining all those things all-at-once. All your debts, all your worries about a family member, all, …well you get it.
Don’t be surprised if you end up depressed, with a headache, low, discouraged, demoralized, etc.
How did you think you would end up if you did all of that all-at-once? Happy? Pleased? Relaxed?
Time prevents everything from happening at once.
Stop eliminating time: change the subject, fix a certain hour /time to bring these things to mind.

150 Rights
My wife called to ask when I was coming home because she had a particularly good meal planned and didn’t want to overcook it.
I promised to be there at a certain time.
I was 1 hour late.
The meal was ruined. (For both of us!)
She had every right to exercise her mad-ness at me.
I asked my son to tell me when a certain person called. It was important to me.
The person did call but my son did not let me know. I only found out when that person called again.
You have the right but you don’t have to exercise it.
Family and friends usually don’t exercise their rights.
Hmmm, maybe that’s why they’re Family and Friends.
I also built a fairly large company that practiced this.
When people think they get away with something at a company’s expense, they think they have a right to and the company does not.
Yet you fool no one but yourself.
How are you doing?
Dutifully exercise your rights do you?
Is it working?
Maybe you should try NOT exercising your rights and see what happens.
