Life gives you what you work for, not what you politely ask for!
#Asking_for : When a person asks you a question about something you give him an answer.
#Working_for : When you switch completely from the domain of real and conform to one that is considered more controversial and less irrevocable.
A student to the teacher and they’re cooking and engaged in peeling potatoes
- The student : Would you pass me the knife ?
And the teacher hands it to him blade first…
- The student : Please give me the other end
- The teacher : What would you do with the other end ?
See from the conventional point of view : We were taught to say “ PLEASE “.
PLEASE is not the guarantee that life will hand you what you want. Ain’t no such thing as a genuine question or whatsoever
The packaging is so important as we were taught!
If something comes to you in a package : The packaging is so important.
Let’s go a little bit further : If something comes to you in a package. A gift for instance. Well here this gorgeous package with colors and gold and everything and very often the packages are much better than what’s in them.
And still, everybody proceeds to tear them apart and get what’s inside!
In the same meaning, in order for you to get what’s inside, you have to get rid of the package!!!
« So Don’t say “PLEASE” to have what you want!
Life gives you what you work for, not what you politely ask for! »
