And before you go any further
I just wanna talk very briefly about that’s what everybody does.
I have a really good friend famous John Credeli.
He was down in South America.
He was working with some kids at camp.
And they have gone down to the field one day.
And they were cutting down the bush load of bananas.
And he goes to rip one of the bananas off the bushels
So he cracks open this banana.
All these little kids that are around him start cracking up.
There are like “You open your banana wrong.”
He’s going “What are you talking about?”
Then another camp counselor comes over.
And sits down next to him and he said “What’s wrong?”
And John said “I don’t know all the kids are laughing at me.”
And he goes “Why?”
And he said “Well, the kids say that I open my banana wrong.”
The other counselor says “Well, son you do.”
And he goes “What are you talking about?”
And he said “Nature shows us the path of least resistance.”
And the easiest way to open the banana is actually from the other end
where the flat tip is.
All you have to do is just pinch the end of that banana and it will naturally
part and as soon as you want to you just pull it back
and it takes all the strings with it
And you won’t get the wishy-squishy thing going on
if you struggle with the stem side.
So as soon as he tells me this I so wish I had a banana right now.
And sure enough I got home and I tried it and it works
And I always get emails later from people that go
“Oh my gosh, Terri that banana thing works”
I’m not lying, Why would I lie?
Of course it works.
And then I got to myself
Isn’t this weird?
Because I live in the United States of America.
And we’re pretty progressive country.
How come people don’t know this?
And all our lives, we’ve been brought up, for the most part, most of us
to open our banana that way.
That’s what we do.
But it doesn’t mean that’s the best way.
Just because that’s what everybody does,
doesn’t mean that’s the best way to do things.
There are different ways that are faster and more effective and they can be just as simple.
They’re just gonna feel different.
They’re just gonna be different than what you’re currently doing.
