The mean law

Hi everybody, how are you?
It's been a long year since I wrote the last note.

Everyday I have to make choices, do this or do that or do nothing. I've been reading and listening a lot of material related to business, marketing, business. And one of that material downed on me that we need to be prepared for the inevitable. This year I wasn't prepared for the inevitable and suddenly I felt guilty for not being prepared. But at least I learned that.

I'm going to mention a parable about a sower that was a wise, and ambitious man. This sower went to work. Work is needed to make seeds grow. Ideas without working born dead or death. He had the best seeds (a person feels good when has something good for example: a good company, a good product,etc). Now it starts the mean law (la ley de los promedios). The first part of seeds that he sowed fell over the sides and the birds eat them. The birds are the Inevitable. The birds are going to eat a part of seeds. The birds are people that tell you that you can't do it. So you have 2 options, 1. You can get rid of the birds hounting them but you're going to leave the field and the mean law is not going to work, you have to know in what things are you going to spend your time and in what things are you not going to waiste your time. 2. You can focus on sowing the field.

The wise man ignored the birds and continued sowing the field. He kept sowing and the seeds fell over the roky ground (the inevitable). The plants grow and when it's hot they dry.

He kept sowing and the seeds fell over the pricky ground. The plants grow and the spines suffocate and kill the plants. The spines are worries. Study the obvious so that you can overcome the most important parts of your life.

The sower knows the amount of seeds the birds are going to eat, how many are going to dry, and how many are going to suffocate.

The seeds fell over the good ground and it's always to be in that way. If you share an idea frecuently with the people they are going to get it. Part of the field produced 30%, 60% and 100% that's the mean law. Can you find one that produces 100%? Yes you can, but you have to go through the 30%, 60%, stand the birds, the hot and the worries, and you have to know the mean law so you can get the 100%.


So my conclusion is that you have to be focus on the things you want, keep working on it, and be prepared for the inevitable. Understand te numbers how many successes you have in a certain amount of attempts. Sooner or later you're going to get the results.

It's a basic and good knowledge. It was worth studying. =) Enjoy it (=

Misunderstandings

When you don't know a person you'd better not comment about personal things. Avoid talking about private life, religion and politics. Try to seem neutral and don't say things that a stubborn guy cannot understand. When a person is stiff-necked you have no chance to explain the misunderstanding, so that's why you'd better be careful and reserved about all the things you say.

I'll translate an email I got about the garbage truck

Con que frecuencia permites que las majaderias de otras personas cambien tu estado de animo? te das permiso de enojarte cuando otro conductor te agrede por un error de transito, o un mesero grosero te trata irrespetuosamente, un jefe exigente te pide mas de lo que te corresponde hacer o cuando un compañero de trabajo te arruina el dia?
How often do you permit that curse words of other people change your mood? You permit yourself to get angry when other driver
Lo que realmente distingue a una persona exitosa es, el control que tenga sobre el manejo de la ira. Hace 16 años aprendi esta leccion. Me la enseñaron en un asiento trasero de un taxi en nueva york.

Me subi a un taxi y partimos rumbo a la direccion que le indique al conductor, ibamos en el carril derecho cuando de repente un choque salió de no se donde; el taxista frenó subitámente, se oyó el rechinar de las llantas y a escasos centímetros evitó chocar con el otro auto. El conductor del coche que casi causa el accidente, empezó a gritarnos con una serie de malas palabras altisonantes.
El taxista solo sonrió y le saludó amable. Asi que yo sorprendido le pregunte ¿Por qué hace eso? Ese tipo por poco destruye su taxi y nos manda directito al hospital.
Entonces el taxista me dio la lección mas bella de mi vida, la que ahora yo llamo "La ley del camion de basura". Muchas personas me dijo: son como un camión de basura. Están llenos de enojo, frustracion y desaliento. Una vez que han acumulado mucha basura, necesitan un lugar en donde tirarla y si uno se lo permite, te la palean a ti.
