LIFE, PROBLEMS,
AND TOAST
As a mini-preview of what you can learn, let us look at
one fundamental idea. This fundamental idea is that everything in life is
a series of connections. Using this "connections view" of all things helps
you figure out in advance what to do and what not to do in every
circumstance.
As an example of how everything is a series of
connections, let's say your toaster quits working. Your toaster is an
example of a simple series of connections. Basically, your toaster is a
switch, connected to an electrical power source, and the power source is
connected to a wire filament turning red-hot when power is applied to
the filament. One day you place your bread in the toaster slots, push down
the lever, and…no toast. You look inside the toaster but see no red-hot
wires. What to do? If you have no understanding about how a toaster works
you will not know what to do. Without toaster knowledge, all you will know is the toaster does not
work.
Looking at the connections mentioned, let's do some
problem solving...
- If you understand the toaster needs electrical
power to operate then you can check the electrical wall outlet
receptacle to see if the receptacle is providing electricity.
- If you know the toaster needs electrical power
you can check to see if the toaster plug is plugged into the wall
outlet.
- If you understand the toaster has a switch in the
handle you push down, you can
check the switch.
- If you understand crumbs can get into the switch
mechanism and keep the switch from operating, you can check the switch
mechanism for crumbs (or turn the toaster upside down, shake out the
crumbs on the counter, a favorite method) and try to get the toaster
operating again.
- If you understand the wire filament inside the
walls of the toaster must be continuous and must not have any break in the
filament, you can check the filament for continuity.
For most of us, life is so complicated and so full
of connections and interconnections we have a tough time fixing what needs
to be fixed. We have a tough time sorting out what works and what does not
work. In life, we are in a situation where we are not only trying to fix a
broken toaster but we are also trying to use the toaster at the same time.
We have all had experiences where we tried to fix the toaster and make
toast at the same time…and we end up being toast. At Comeback Road
meetings, we help you find and explore the maze of
connections. We show you, step by step, how to see the connections in
life, how to trouble shoot or problem solve, how to plan out and manage a
successful effort, and how to maximize the wisdom you already
have to execute your plan.
Everyone has had success in life. When you join us you can discover the history of your
success. [Read
