Recently I got an email with a funny story about monkeys…
Let’s take a cage with five monkeys. Hang a banana at the ceiling of the cage and put a ladder beneath it. It won’t take a long time until one of the monkeys will try to climb the ladder to get the banana.
As soon as the monkey touches the ladder spray the monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey will try to climb the ladder. Again spray all the monkeys with cold water.
I’m going to write the 3rd part of the escalation series later. Today I start with a mission for the next few weeks and of course you’re welcome to join. It’s about the inner dialog…
I’m walking along the street in a pedestrian area. From far away I see a pretty woman walking towards me. Exactly my type. Does she see me too? I’m watching her while she’s coming closer. Does she see me? Does she like me? She’s coming closer. 10 meters to go. I’m looking into her eyes. She’s looking straight ahead. Doesn’t she see me? 5 meters. She doesn’t look at me. Doesn’t she like me? Why doesn’t she look at me? Am I not tall enough? 3 meters. Not good looking enough? Not her type? Now she’s at my level and is passing by and she didn’t even look at me. Why didn’t she look at me? What didn’t she like about me?
