aslk start every day
What a great observation.
Listen: I'll tell you something: I teach
people all about how to do a mathematical, marketing
regression analysis, how to access Nasdaq Level II quotes, how
to massage complex statistics, how to create engineered
reciprocity, how to profitably navigate the Internet with
their PC's, and an endless variety of other complex,
highly-technical shit.
But you know what? The really important
wisdom... the stuff which will really
change your life... is simple. In fact, it's so
simple, it could rightly be considered downright corny.
I've been thinking: What if I were on my death
bed? What if I had only a few minutes left? What if God told
me to use those last few minutes to tell someone the single
most important thing I knew? What if it had to be the one
thing... that... in my opinion... would enhance their life
more than anything else I could ever tell them?
What would it be? Something about love?
Loyalty? Marketing or perhaps spirituality? Exercise, study
habits, nutrition, fitness, relationships? WHAT?
Nope. It wouldn't be any of that stuff. If it
could only be one thing, here is what I would teach you:
How You Should
Start Every Day For
The Rest Of Your Life!
1.
Set
your alarm clock to go off 10 minutes earlier
than usual.
2.
The
first thing, after you get up, is to
immediately remake your bed.
3.
Go to
the kitchen, pour yourself a glass of water
and drink it all.
4.
Go to
the bathroom, take care of
"business," brush your teeth, wash
the sleep out of your face and eyes and
brush and comb your hair.
