Never Give Up No Matter What- Short Story by Adieza(m): 11:59am On Feb 23, 2018 |
Find out what the majority of people are doing and do exactly the opposite.” A young newlywed was preparing a ham for Christmas dinner. She carefully cut off the end of the ham before placing it in the pan for roasting. Her husband asked her, “Why did you cut off the end of the ham?” And she replied,“I really don’t know. My mother always did. So I thought you were supposed to.” Later, when talking to her mother, she asked her why she cut off the end of the ham before roasting. And her mother replied, “I really don’t know, but that’s the way my mom always did it.” A few weeks later while visiting her grandmother, the young woman asked, “Grandma, why is it that you cut off the end of a ham before you roast it?” Her grandmother replied, “Well, dear, it would never fit into my roasting pan.” What’s the moral of the story? All of their lives, people do what they’re familiar with. It’s why conventional wisdom has held back people for centuries. It’s the scripture of mediocrity. Mediocre beliefs create mediocre beliefs. Conventional wisdom is for the masses. Are the masses broke or rich? Exactly. All of our lives, were told by our peers that our goals aren't realistic. Our dreams are too far- fetched. Our expectations are too high. They preach to us that: “Those things are for other people.” “We certainly can’t except that for ourselves; who are we kidding.” So next time, when someone says to you, “You can’t do that,” you better reply: “Yeah? Watch me! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=337310506775064&id=158338594672257
