THE GYM

in #life7 years ago

Two guys came into the gym last week. They did not look like people that have ever touched let alone lift a weight in their entire life. One of them stood for about 20 minutes watching us.
He then asked if he could use THE DUMBBELL.

When he said that everyone paused, looked at him and burst into laughter.
It is pertinent to note that there is only one dumbbell in that gym and it is locally made from concrete and a pipe. THE DUMBBELL IS MASSIVE. I have never seen anyone try to use that dumbbell before. Well, since he insisted on using it, he was told to go ahead.

I watched in amazement as this guy went on to do 10 sets of one-arm dumbbell rows, each set consisting of 8-10 reps.
Everyone was quiet.

  1. Never write people off based on their looks. Looks don't determine a person's ability.

  2. Just because you cannot do something does not mean you should qualify it as impossible and go further to stop others from attempting it.

  3. Never challenge someone to a contest without first knowing their ability. You may be in for a rude awakening.

Yes, you're right.
We should never underestimate people from facial expression.
