The queue to the ATM machine was something else
because they all wanted to withdraw money.
Although there was another machine beside it,
nobody moved towards the second machine. They
had about 25 people on one single queue. 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withdrawn broke away from the initial queue and rushed to that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.
