admin Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I went over to my sister's once. Dinner or something. One of the houses on the block had been torn down. It was a nice neighborhood, with nice houses, so it seemed kind of strange. Turned out the guy's foundation had cracked, so he had to make a new one. Which meant tearing down the house, ripping out the foundation, and pouring another one. Quite an expensive pain. This is why the foundation of anything is so important. With a house, it's pretty obvious. Because houses are physical things with physical plans. There is a right way and a wrong way. Other things, it's not so easy. In sports, for example, if you pick up some "bad habits" like holding the bat wrong, or any other repetitive movement, it can be hard to correct. Even harder that tearing down a house and re-pouring the concrete. That's expensive, but pretty straightforward. Other foundations may not cost anything to fix, but they can be much more difficult. Some are even impossible to fix if you lay the foundation incorrectly. Since most things in our lives aren't things we consciously build, rather they are things that just "happen," this almost guarantees most things will be on shaky foundations. On the other hand, if you are setting out to create something, having a good foundations is pretty easy. All you need to do is understand what you are building. Go slow, take your time, Measure twice, cut once, as they say. Or another common saying is, "If you don't have time to do it right, how are you going to find time to do it over?" Which illustrates the paradox of "hurry up and get it done." The faster you go, the longer it takes. Since going faster tends to create more mistakes. But if you take your time, build slowly and carefully, you'll have something that lasts a lifetime. Nowhere is this more important than in human relationships. With a good relationship, you can do anything. But if you're relationship is on shaky ground, everything else is shaky as well. Luckily, building a good relationships is just as easy as building a house. Learn How: Love Hypnosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
