During a recent conversation, a person that I know was telling me about an issue that they were having. When I offered what I thought was a solution, they rejected it out of hand. That got me thinking. Are we being intellectually honest with ourselves?Do we want solutions or do we instead embrace the problem because accepting the problem is easier than applying the fix? This might be a valid internal conversation; do you want the solution or do you want the problem?

Do You Want the Problem or the Solution? [MM286]

While watching an old interview with Eddie Van Halen, it was filmed in the late 90’s, Eddie made a statement about why he played the guitar the way he did. Though he only devoted a few sentences to the subject, what I heard seemed tremendously profound. We’re going to discuss and consider what Eddie meant when he said he didn’t know what not to do.

We examine the parable of the monk and the mountain. What lessons can be learned from this short tale? Professor Paul will discuss the modern lie of “fairness”. What is “fair”?  Perhaps, &#34;fair&#34; is a place you go to eat cotton candy and ride the Ferris wheel.

I was reading a story about Jose Feliciano (Feliz Navidad) and how when he decided to learn to play the guitar he would practice all day long, sometimes for 12 to 14 hours.Friends of Jimi Hendrix have reported that Jimi used to take his guitar with him wherever he went. Anytime he had a spare moment, Hendrix was plucking his axe. If 10,000 hours is the requirement for mastery, the big question is; how long will it take you to reach that number?﻿If you like the show, please check out our <a href="https://www.studentofthegun.com/products/morning-mindset-merchandise/" rel="nofollow">Official Morning Mindset Merchandise</a>!

Pandering, telling people whatever it is they want to hear, is a short-term strategy and a shortsighted undertaking. If that is the case, why do so many people, groups or organizations do it? Why is pandering still prevalent? On whom does pandering work? Most importantly, can you be an effective, successful business without pandering? Do you need to pander to be a success?

Fear is a natural human response to danger. Being afraid is not a sin, but neither should it become a lifestyle. What we are witnessing, through our virtue-signaling world, is fear being mistaken for virtue.

The shortest road to madness and depression is the attempt to please everyone, all the time. Despite the fact that we all “know” that we cannot please everyone, how many of us are still frustrated by that attempt?

“The Office” is one of the most successful television shows of our generation and is beloved by millions. However, The Office was almost canceled after the first season. It was not perfect and many studio execs wanted to drop the show. However, one man had faith in it, even though it was not perfect. Kevin Reilly, the head of NBC, had faith in the show and saved it. Today we focus on faith and not giving up just because something or someone is not perfect.

We all like to look back at old photos. Sometimes when we look at those pictures we say “What was I thinking?”. Do not let yesterday’s behavior cloud or take away from today’s successes. The old way was not wrong if it was the best way for the time, today’s successes are built on yesterday’s behaviors.
