So, gentlemen, let's start with the question: do you know how the word "stimulus" is translated from ancient Greek?
I suspect you know. However, I will remind. Stimulus - a pointed stick designed to control donkeys.
And, since there was no suitable parable, you have to come up with it yourself.
Donkey driver urgently need to deliver the goods from a rich customer. He harnessed the donkey, loaded the cart and drove off.
It is simple to say, but not easy to do. The donkey doesn’t care about the urgency of the cargo, the direction and speed with which it needs to move.
In the evening, he will still receive his portion of hay, so he has nowhere to rush.
Another thing drover. His welfare, the well-being of his family and, in the end, the good mood of his wife, who will or will not be supportive of him in bed, depend on the delivery of the goods.
He takes a stimulus and begins to ruthlessly poke a donkey in its tender soft places. There is nothing for Tom to do, he went where the drover was sending him.
But he does not calm down. The cargo must be delivered faster. The incentive is again in use. Donkey is running! The cargo was delivered on time, everyone is happy.
The driver got his money, his wife of his husband, the donkey had a long-awaited vacation, though the owner, in joy, forgot to let him go to the donkey, but this is a trifle.
Universal happiness. Hurrah!
You don’t recognize yourself anywhere? Ask yourself, who in this life are you a donkey or a drover?
I do not want to offend anyone. But the answer to this question depends on how you live your life.
You’ll carry all your life cargo for the driver, waiting for the longed-for evening, or you will decide where and why to go or go, and when and how to relax.
Think about who needs an incentive, a donkey or a drover? Who is easier to live, a donkey or a drover? Who is more interested in living, a donkey or a drover? Who do you want to be, a donkey or a drover?
These are difficult times, a crisis. You know what I’ll tell you: crisis is a good time to change your life.
In good times, there is no reason to twitch. Everything goes the way and why change something?
But right now, in difficult times, there is a reason to change the life of not only yourself, but also your descendants.
There is such an unwritten law: the son of a general becomes a general. The janitor's son is likely to be a janitor.
If you are not the son of a general, then it's time to get this title, and then both the grandchildren and great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren will remember and bless YOU.
Those people who are doing well now have never cited difficult times because they are not the product of circumstances - they are the product of their decision.
If you grew up in an environment in which there are no successful people, then most likely you will also be the same.
To become successful, you need to change your attitude towards life.
How to do it? Probably not in one day.
