Read these sentences below. Any may make your mentally stronger. Credit to the book Influence: The Psychology Of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini.
*Earn it. People who work to attain something tend to value the rewards more highly than people who attain the rewards with minimum effort.
*Foolish consistency. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. . . ." --Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
Be prepared to change when there is new information, correct information, or different circumstances.
*Choose your request for help. An emergency situation. You need help. You're more likely to get help by specifically identifying people you feel are trusted help. Eliminate uncertainties. Time for courage. Be simple. Be specific. Stare, speak, and identify at a person or group of people.
*Scarcity. The potential loss is a big decision maker. Loss is a better motivator than gain. Negative is a better motivator than gain. Thinking positive can backfire. Think negative.
*Slow down. Thinking is fast in the Information Age. People make quick choices. People make the final decisions immediately. Everyone must admit we make mistakes from too quick thinking decision making. I admit I make mistakes from too quick thinking decision making. History repeats itself. The same mistakes are committed regardless of how much humans learn from humanity or since the dawn of humanity.
*Garbage choices. The ownership of the Utah Hockey Club asked citizens of Utah to name their mascot at the start of the 2025-2026 season on May 8, 2024. Deceive the Utah citizens. Provide the majority with an obvious choice. Also, provide the majority with all other terrible choices. The twenty name choices were the following in alphabetical order: Black Diamonds, Blast, Blizzard, Canyons, Caribou, Freeze, Frost, Fury, Glaciers, HC or Hockey Club, Hive, Ice, Mammoth, Mountaineers, Outlaws, Powder, Squall, Swarm, Venom, and Yeti. A majority of people agree Yeti was the best choice. The nineteen others were garbage. The choices were narrowed to six on Jun 6, 2024: Blizzard, HC or Hockey Club, Mammoth, Outlaws, Venom, and Yeti.
The National Hockey League approved the relocation of the Arizona Coyotes to Utah on Apr 18, 2024. The mascot is the Mammoth.
Update On A Past Blog
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name --Remember The Name by Fort Minor
Luck is a factor when it comes to success. Hard work is also a factor. I choose the blogs Respect For Hard Work Multiplied By 60 Hours written on Feb 18, 2019 and The Lesson To Be Successful Rarely Taught written on Sep 12, 2018 to represent luck and hard work are factors whether a person becomes successful or not successful. Work long hours intelligently. The answer to the lesson is timing, luck, opportunity, and chance which can't be taught.
