Lesson 3 of 3 from "The Big Moo": Juggling Is Not What You Think It Is
This is the third and last installment of lessons learned from reading “The Big Moo”. The first lesson learned was about compromise and the second one was about being why being extreme is necessary sometimes. This lesson is about knowing the importance of being proactive rather than reactive in a position of management or leadership. It’s important, in order to be successful, to know how to trust and delegate work to people. To be great at that, you must treat your co-workers/employees first of all as humans, and also take time to know them on personal/professional level. What do they like to work on? What are they passionate about in their job? What motivates them to spend their energy, intelligence and experience to help your organization achieve its goals and drive its strategy? Discovering the values behind these variables will make you more remarkable in your organization. Furthermore, this lesson teaches you to stop being a fireman and instead be an innovator. You have too much smarts to indulge your time in putting out fire caused by other people. It’s important to realize that you simply can’t handle every single situation at work. Sometimes when there’s just too many fires to put out, the best thing to do is build some brick walls to isolate your from them, but also to help you set a path that will guide you to success. That being said, I present you the last essay for this lesson. This one is entitled “Juggling Is Not What You Think” and (yep, you’ve guess it) and its author is unknown.
Juggling Is Not What You Think It Is
“Sometimes, I teach juggling classes. Everyone wants to get the learning process of how to juggle three balls over with as quickly as he can. The universal approach people take is to devote all their attention and effort at catching the calls. They just throw ‘em up and rush around trying to catch them. Extraordinary efforts are justified to catch the balls, because after all, if a ball hits the ground, you’ve failed. The nascent juggler expects that with enough practice, they’ll get really good at catching balls.”
“Lots of your peers think that they’re good at juggling. They rush this way and that, dealing with emergencies, handling multiple priorities, and never letting anything fall through the cracks.”
“But that’s not juggling. That’s rushing around like a madman. Let them be good at that. There are plenty of people out there who are great at rushing about and handling emergencies, and frankly, they don’t need your help.”
“It turns out that juggling is about throwing, not catching. The way to learn how to juggle is not to focus obsessively on not dropping a ball. No, the way to get good at juggling is to focus on your throw instead.”
“If you are good at throwing, the catching will take care of itself.”
“Once you’ve got three or four or five projects in the air at work, no amount of rushing around is going to keep them from crashing to the ground. No amount of effort can help you catch the misthrown balls. It’s physically impossible.”
“On the other hand, if your balls are well thrown, the catching is effortless.”
“That’s part of the secret of becoming remarkable. Don’t spend any time at all worrying about catching. Let your co-workers do that. Instead, become the best thrower there ever was. If you become good at throwing, you’ll find that you’re irreplaceable. Organizations need really good throwers.”
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female – they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
As you may have probably heard, Bill Gates will soon step down from Microsoft and step up to focus more of his energy toward his philanthropic and charity organization, the
