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!
