When the guy & his fiancée got there, He also went to queue but she asked one of the customers what was wrong with the other machine. 'I don't know', he said, '... but somebody said there is no money in it'.
After listening to that 'somebody' tale, the fiancée told him to move straight to the machine everyone neglected and he inserted his card. Lo and behold, the same machine 'somebody' said would not work, dispensed the sum of N20,000.
As they were walking away like
a magician, others who saw some cash He had withdrawn
broke away from the initial queue and rushed to that machine.
Why did I tell you this experience?
1. People don't get something they need from somewhere because they refused to try.
2. People refused to try because 'somebody' somewhere said it won't work.
3 The somebody somewhere may be an old authority who doesn't believe in evolution.
4. People won't take steps to do what others don't do because of the 'what if it doesn't work?' question.
5. People ask this question because they don't want to take risks.
6. Those who don't take the risk of checking if the other machine is working will remain on the long queue and may not even get what they need eventually. Meaning achieving in 2hrs what they could have achieved in 2min.
7. When a pacesetter comes and succeeds after 'swallowing' the criticisms, others break ranks and follow suit.
Therefore, stop believing 'the somebody' that asks 'what if it doesn't work?'
Ask another question: 'What if it works?'
Never allow anybody to discourage you.
Let's start believing in ourselves and take the bull by the horn... Think positively..
