Monkey-hunters use a box with an opening at
the top, big enough for the monkey to slide its hand in. Inside the box are
nuts. The monkey grabs the nuts and now its hand becomes a fist. The monkey
tries to get its hand out but the opening is big enough for the hand to slide
in, but too small for the fist to come out. Now the monkey has a choice, either
to let go off the nuts and be free forever or hang on to the nuts and get
caught.
Guess what it picks every time? You guessed
it. He hangs on to the nuts and gets caught.
We are no different from monkeys. We all hang
on to some nuts that keep us from going forward in life. We keep rationalizing
by saying, "I cannot do this because . . ." and whatever comes after
"because" are the nuts that we are hanging on to which are holding us
back.
Successful people don't rationalize. Two
things determine if a person will be a success: reasons and results. Reasons
don't count while results do. A good advice for failure is: Don't think, don't
ask and don't listen. Just rationalize.
