00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:08.160
Using every day like to help you
increase your confidence in your self esteem.
2
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:15.560
I think it was Albert Einstein,
and I could be not doing somebody else
3
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:23.519
justice by crediting them, but I
think it was about Einstein who said everybody
4
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.719
has the ability to be a genius, but if you ask a fish to
5
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:33.000
climb a tree, they would think
they're stupid. It's a good saying.
6
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:41.399
I think they're right. I just
had a couple of scenarios, not scenarios,
7
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.640
a couple of incidences. No,
that's not the word. Just a
8
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:51.439
couple of things happen this week which
made me think of that saying. One
9
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:59.759
was in the work context about people
attending meetings and what they contribute and what
10
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:10.359
they out of it and how they
formulate a set of actions. And another
11
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.359
one was with our seven year old
daughter at work or at school, sorry,
12
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:19.000
a seven year old daughter at school. There was something that happened this
13
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.640
week in which the teacher felt the
need to contact us. And yeah,
14
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:37.920
I mean, let's give it this
not disclaimer less, let's qualify this statement.
15
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:48.439
I really like the attitude and the
work rate and the way our seven
16
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:57.079
year old daughter's teacher goes about her, her her duties. I think she's
17
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.959
great at a job. Don't have
much experience, by the way of that,
18
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.840
because I certainly can't remember how good
or bad my teacher was when I
19
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.080
was seven years old, and as
our seven year old daughter is our oldest,
20
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.400
don't really have much experience with teachers
other than that. But she seems
21
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.360
to be a good egg. She
seems to do well. But something happened
22
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.560
this week where she just basically just
said this ain't good enough, this needs
23
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.120
to be done differently. And then
when you quiz our daughter about it,
24
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.520
she's like, I didn't understand the
question and it won't explained very well,
25
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:38.080
and then you know, she's transpires
she was just asked to write something about
26
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:44.800
the experience she had, like six
days earlier or five days earlier, and
27
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.520
she's just like, I forgot even
what we did five days earlier, and
28
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:58.120
yeah, and it just escalated from
that, and it just made me think
29
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:08.759
of that saying we all have the
ability to succeed, we all like,
30
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.479
don't get me wrong, We've all
got our own challenges. We're not all
31
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.759
coming from the same place. Some
of us are more privileged than others,
32
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:24.199
some of us have more opportunities around
us than others. But we've all got
33
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:36.319
that ability to succeed, to grow, to progress quicker in certain areas of
34
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.719
our life than we do in others. And I think it's important that you're
35
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:49.560
not comparing your inner your inner brain, with what you observe from everyone's outer
36
00:03:50.479 --> 00:04:00.360
you know, because somebody else is
out there, I don't know, lifting
37
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.520
certain weights at the gym. That
doesn't mean you're rubbish at the gym.
38
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.639
It just means you can't lift as
much as them. But maybe you're better
39
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:17.360
at reading books than they are.
Or you know, because you're seeing somebody
40
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:28.000
who's achieved their ideal weight and you're
struggling with the discipline to stay on track.
41
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:41.959
That doesn't mean that you're should have
lack of self esteem in identifying what
42
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:48.920
clothes you should wear, or who
you date, or how well you do
43
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:56.319
your job. A lot of this
confidence in self esteem overlaps, and I
44
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:01.160
get that, but we need to
be careful when we're looking at high levels
45
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:10.839
of confidence and self esteem and motivation
that we don't mix the two. We
46
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:17.240
need to make sure that we understand
that because we haven't got the right outcome
47
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:23.920
in one part of what we do, we don't let that spill over to
48
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.399
everything. We don't become demoralized.
We don't just end up going, oh,
49
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.040
it was a rubbish day. I
wish today hadn't started. No,
50
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:39.920
you probably just wish one very specific
aspect of that day hadn't started. Think
51
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.839
about it. A lot of people
I speak to it's just sort of can't
52
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.680
catch a break. Everything goes on
is not you know what it should be.
53
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.279
Yeah, I think if you analyze
that in a bit more detail,
54
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.560
that's probably not the case. It's
probably just a couple of things that have
55
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:05.759
led you to think in that way. Let me know your thoughts. Contact
56
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:15.439
me on Twitter at Blundell. That's
b l U N D E l L
57
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:25.240
Underscore James. Tell me what you
think if we all have the ability to
58
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.439
be geniuses, but if you ask
a fish to climb a tree, they
59
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:39.319
would think they're stupid. Have a
fantastic day, goodbye,
