Just what WOULD you do to be a success?
I really do not like having my hair cut. When I was younger an incident occurred and the top of my ear was sliced off by careless scissors, operated by a side of the neck talking gossip monger.
I wore the proverbial crimson mask, and the image returned upon every nervous visit.
It is with some delicious irony that I saw, and understood. How a person can be successful. This came to me through my greatest fear.
On Tuesday evening I was walking home from work, and caught a glimpse of my untamed mane in a passing window. On a whim or more of a necessity, I ventured into the hairdressers.
There was of course the usual customs and pleasantries; I was shown to the chair and at that point my nerves must have shown, and she asked me my name.
This is the first key to success: PAY ATTENTION
Nerves are one thing, and a trip to the hair dressers is one full of polite chit-chat, clichés and banal opinions. I was made to feel at ease, and for the first time I was able to express what style I required. I have had in the past, dozens of hairstyles of pictures that were closest to my eye line. (Pretty glad no mullets were nearby)
My hair was rinsed, washed and my face massaged. She proceeded to scissor cut my hair, taking her time, measuring and cross referencing each side. It was pretty late in the day, and had no appointment yet the enthusiasm and energy was equal to her first cut of the day.
The second key to success: CONSISTENCY
Whilst cutting my hair, and to my embarrassment but with discretion, she informed me that there was a large spot on my scalp. The next thing however surprised me; she proceeded to separate my hair around the infected area and fully lanced the skin eruption. The seeping puss and follow through blood was mopped up and cleaned without question and we carried on.
The third key to success: BESPOKE SERVICE
The haircut was a success.
All the above does seem innocuous, but through a fear came a good experience. Life is like this and I want to shout from the roof tops about the service received.
Normally a product or service is instantly forgettable, and we have had tens of thousands of these experiences in our lives.
The devil is in the detail, the same goes for love. The yearning by middle aged woman who bemoan the small things that there young lovers did for them in the distant past such as; pull out a chair, open a door, order wine, fluff the pillow, tumble dry a towel and handing to them after a bath that they run when they came back from work ....... (A womans Number 1 fantasy)
Life is just a series of moments with forgettable fluff in-between; this fluff gets into your belly button when you are not paying ATTENTION, not washing with any CONSISTENCY and paying or awarding yourself with BESPOKE SERVICE.
In summary look after yourself and other and do nice things for people, this is of course what you SHOULD do, to be a success.

I love the above quote, it defines your life. A simple premise of how to move forward. If your are going to do something, then DO IT
