Ok I admit, I am sometimes gullible, I don't consider myself a pessimist, or cynic, but I got caught last week responding to a webinar that promised to give me magic words. I thought, yeah, I have tried these things before and they always want to sell you something instead of really telling you anything. But I'll give it a shot.
I showed up at the appointed time to sit for a 75 minute period in which I would learn how to recruit leaders and new people in my Avon down line with magic words. She pointed out several good points, ie appeal to their feelings, and tell them how the product or business would make them feel etc. Well I said there were a few, maybe only 1, before she started trying to sell the viewers the full course at the special online price of $$$ . I'm sorry if I didn't stay for the end, but after about 55 minutes of being told the same thing in a different way, I was bored, hassled, and aggravated. So I didn't stay for her punchline.
I like to try new things from time to time. Life's too short to remain in the same old routine, or rut. I took a writers course once that recommended you even try to go a different way to work, to try to re-route your thoughts. I decided to give a vegan product a try. I love a good tender steak, don't get me wrong, but as I said I like to try new things. So I bought the Morning Star breakfast sausage patties, last week, and the Morning Star Bacon yesterday. I tried them, and admit they were tasty. I think its a good way to include extra veggies in my diet, and not so much fat.
I was invited today to download a cookbook from the Viking River Cruise Company. I looked through it, and decided to give it a try. When we took our cruise in 2012, we were served such delicious food, I was curious what this company had to serve their guests. It was so cool, limoncello, a tasty sounding liquor desert made with lemons, homemade, poached salmon, a shrimp dish, another salmon dish, a pistachio torte, something sweet I presume. I cant wait to try the recipes, they don't sound too complicated.
Two of my granddaughters are about to embark on their own life course to try new things and new adventures. I pray they stay safe and remember their values and beliefs. Life is very amazing and it is too important to be timid in challenging situations, or ideas. But the thing is we also have to think for ourselves and not become gullible to every supposed prophet or "good idea".
Thank you for reading if you've gotten this far. Till next time, and ya'll come back now!
