Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Oh I bet you heard that before, but imagine with me for a second that you are paid every time that broken clock shows the correct time. Now, let’s also say that you are able to hit a button to randomize the time on that clock as many times as you want and when it hits the correct time, you get money.
What would you do?
Wouldn’t you try to hit that button as many times as you could, assuming that the time it takes to do so is worth your while?
I would. In fact, I have proof, because this is pretty much how real life works and I have been known to experiment. I never know whether I will be rewarded for my actions, but we are all ultimately paid according to the results that we achieve. There are some consequences of failure, but for the most part, more actions leads to more positive results.
No one ever knows for sure whether success will come out of every project he/she gets involved in, but that shouldn’t be an obstacle. Even if I jump into something new and don’t get the desired result, I have gained a great deal of knowledge. Now, that’s power.
My boss used to love asking me to do everything because I almost never say no. At some level, one can argue that I was being taken advantaged of but it also gave me incredible exposure. Exposure that led to experiences few receive, especially considering my age. I mean, who would ever get a chance to help design an interior of a business building from the ground up, be in a a pressurized sales position handling multimillion dollar accounts, run an IT team and negotiate with its vendors at the same company? As I hopped within the company from job to job, it was insanely difficult but everything I did helped me so much. Negotiation? Check, relationship building? Check. Operational and technical skills? More checks.
It’s not how much you read. It’s how much you have done and know.
Sometimes, you have to say no to stay focus, but there’s incredible power with taking action and telling yourself yes.
- Yes, you can do it.
- Yes, you should do it.
- Yes, you need to do it.
Get started. From career to family to personal finance. Get off your a** and do something about it.
