There once was an awful prig
who wanted a musical gig,
but he never left his bed
till his mother sternly said
“Get out, you lazy pig!”
It is against the flow of nature to do anything from a state of inertia. If you do overcome that inertia however, it becomes a lot easier to gather momentum. So the question is, what is that first step you need to take to give you just a little bit of momentum to get going?
An executive spider named Eve,
did once a tangled web weave.
Swamped with information,
she lived in hesitation
of decisions she had to conceive
The mark of a good executive is the ability to effectively synthesise information and analytical data to make decisions. In fact, that is what they should be getting paid for.
There was once a keen journalist named Aria
who was recently posted in Syria
She thought she’d be safe
until she got a real chafe
from the ungrateful consumers of media!
I recently had a conversation with a freelance journalist and executive coach that had just returned from covering some of the events in the Middle East. It was apparent just how under-appreciated the work some people do is. It is almost as though there is a disconnect between the effort and pain required to deliver a service, and the consumption of that very service.
Newshounds that constantly criticise journalists for not covering this, that, and the other should be aware that they are likely biting the hand that feeds.
There once was a man named Mark
who wanted to build a park
so he planned and planned
and planned his brand
meanwhile it got built by Clark!
Even if you think very differently, ideas are rarely unique. What makes ideas truly valuable is their implementation, or at the very least, the action they inspire.
There once was a guru named Mick
who spoke of a simple trick
if you get off your ass and do
what you simply know to be true
you’ll change your life real quick!
Apparently, if you don’t link your idea to some form of action within 5 seconds, in all likelihood, the idea will die. Judging by the current state of the world, it appears mostly stupid people have empowered themselves with this 5 second rule.
There was once a man named Jay Cobb
who was anything but snob
he knew little of finance,
economics or romance
but still wound up leading the mob!
The smart often forget that being liked often gets you further in life than being smart.
At the end of a rough day
of making sunshine out of hay
sat the man on his couch,
rummaging through his pouch
… searching for something to say
Sometimes, words simply fail to capture the intensity of an experience.
The loving embrace
of a couple, mixed race
caused such anxiety
about impropriety
… and they’re only at first base!
Politics, sex and religion are topics that frequently inspire passionate, ill-considered responses. Perhaps it’s because identities are so closely tied to them.
The question is how can you use this pattern for financial gain?
There was once a man named Bryant
who was quite the corporate giant
he had a fear mice
which wasn’t very nice
but it sure made him a great client!
You’d be hardpressed to find a situation, no matter how dire, in which nobody benefited in some way. The corollary to this is of course that there is an opportunity in every situation.
