Simple Thinking. Gerver Richard

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ as children, our job was to find out the answer inside the teacher's head. Like dodgy clairvoyants, we would probe them, observe their facial expressions and body language, waiting for the clues to fall into place. We could then stand glorious with the right answer. There we are in our meetings, as fully grown people, doing the same thing. The irony is that both we and the people chairing the meetings are feeling the frustration at the lack of honesty and dynamic. Sadly, we often play the same games in our personal lives.

      The poker chips of life

      Take a look at it this way. When we are born, most of us are born high stakes gamblers; we have to be, everything is a risk, everything is unknown, whatever we do, it's new and filled with uncertainty. Life is a little like playing the tables in Monte Carlo or Las Vegas. Let's say we are playing at the roulette wheel. Life spins the wheel and rolls the ball. The croupier calls for us to place our bets. Each bet is a decision: answering a question, applying for a job, choosing a restaurant for a first date. As a young child, it can be stacking the blocks, trying to move on our feet rather than on our bottom. The younger we are, the more chips we play with, so we'll throw some big value on the odds or evens, the reds or blacks; we are certainly more likely to stake some of our chips on individual numbers. Why? Because we've got bags full of chips; we are the high rollers: suited, booted and dressed to impress. If the numbers come up against us, it doesn't matter because we can simply bet again.
