An engineer in a car manufacturing company designs a world class car. The owner is impressed with the outcome and praised him a lot.
While trying to bring out the car from the manufacturing area to the office they realized that the car is few inches taller than the entrance.
The engineer felt bad that he didn't notice this one before creating the car. The owner was amazed on how to take it outside of the manufacturing area.
The painter said that they can bring out the car and there will be few scratches on top of the car that he will do the tinkering later on.
The engineer said that they can break the entrance and after taking the car out, they can cement it.
The owner was not convinced with any ideas and felt like it is a bad sign to break or scratch.
The watchman was watching all these drama and slowly approached the owner. He wanted to give an idea if they have no problem.
They thought what this guy would tell them that the experts could not give.
The watchman said that the car is only few inches taller than the entrance so if they release the air in the tyre, the height of the car will be adjusted and can be easily taken out.
Everyone there was surprised and clapped their hands for him.
MORALS:
Don't approach problems only from the expert point of view. There is always a layman point that may provide needed solution...
Always listen to everyone's point of view before judging them. Never ask people to shut up!
Deflate your ego in order to get out of the container so that the world can appreciate your usefulness.
STEPS TO FAILING FORWARD
1. Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gift and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.
2. Get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.
3. Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open.
4. Show kindness to everyone. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighborhood was once a puppy. And keep the information/secret to yourself.
5. Always plan ahead and be proactive. He that plans the future work less in the future.
6. Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers. Both religious and educational.
7. Attend seminars and training on any area you need to improve yourself. Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales etc.
8. Have the habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.
9. Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you would have consumed 1,000,000 words.
10. Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big TV sit in front of them to watch men with big library.
11. Put controls over your mouth, never say evil of any man, what you are not certain of should not be said. Say good of all men.
12. Always show appreciation for any good deed you received.
13. Always help someone in need.
14. Live a debt free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size.
15. Give out loans that you can part with as gift, so that you don’t destroy your business and relationship.
16. Create legitimate multiple source of income.
17. Save at least 10 percent of your income.
18. Invest a portion of your income. And be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed, sow it.
19. Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go”
20. Be involved in community service. Control traffic, free lesson class for students etc.
21. Keep getting better on your daily goals and dream, develop yourself on them and make sure you get to the top 10 % of your industry.
22. Make sure you engage in exercise. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success.
23. Pray often, and know that for every success, there is a stronger being that made it possible.
24. Realize there is one major difference between average people and achievers.
25. Find the benefit in every bad experience and Learn from a bad experience and make it a good experience.
