Dear Minnow (part 34): STOP LOOKING AT IMMEDIATE REWARDS (Think Far; Act Now!)

in #motivation7 years ago (edited)

Dear Minnow,

Myopia is a medical condition in which an individual cannot see distant objects clearly. It is also known as short-sightendness. A person that is short-sighted will prefer for example to take rewards now and damn the consequences later.

Some other people on the other hand are far-sighted (hypermetropia). They see things that are distant more than those near. My own personal suggestion is that you acquire a normal vision with a touch of both myopia and hypermetropia.

This language of medicine is what I'm using to describe people's attitudes to success. Let's explain it more:

  • When you are short-sighted, your thinking is brief. You are reactive and quick to act. You don't see consequences thats why you always regret your actions later.

  • When you are long-sighted, you tend to over-think and never act. You wait for all the factors to pan out before you take a step forward. Hmmm! That way you end up never acting. Even when you eventually start acting, your process is very slow. Your growth is retarded because you don't have short-term/immediate goals.

NOW SEE WHERE YOU NEED TO BE;

  • You need to have that special ability to make short-term and long-term goals and stick to them.
  • You need to be quick to discover and utilize opportunities.
  • You also need to think deep always about things so that you don't regret later.
  • The middle ground is thinking and working at the same time.
  • See near and see far; that's normal vision.

YOU CAN NEVER GET FAR, IF YOU DON'T SEE FAR

Now X-Mas Seasonal Holiday is near, many people are going to get distracted with the petty party and forget their plans. Many people are going to spend everything they have ever made just to please people that don't matter in their lives. Hmmm! That's short-sightedness.

For starters, life does not begin nor end in Xmas. There are still other seasons to celebrate and enjoy life. The goal should be to consistently work as well as enjoy life. Don't stop because everyday should be a holiday. Work and play everyday. Enjoy life everyday.

Hedonism is a dangerous thing. When you just want to party everyday and do nothing. Its very bad for your growth.

Plan ahead, but work everyday to reach your goals.

See you at the top!

no immediate rewards, you can buy as many upvote bots and votes as you want but it can backfire in the long run...some major curators will look at how many votes vs. actual views to determine how that slider goes ;) also when you beg for votes or leave "nice post" it usually doesn't work.....by the way...."nice post" ;)
@battleaxe

Lolx. "nice post" will be pardoned when it comes before or after a major point(s) dropped by the commenter. And you are on of such special breed that your "nice post" will actually mean what every letter says. So cheers dear!

Keep being a weirdly awesome lady! Lolx

#AIR-CLINIC

Oh I'm "weird" Huh?
What is that supposed to mean?....
.
just kidding :P

lolx. @battleaxe. Very funny...
