Find The "Other Half" Of Your $60,000 Equation
Steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, the well-known philanthropist, kept a close eye on where each of his contributions went.
He was once approached by the secretary of the New York Philharmonic Society for a contribution of $60,000. At first, Carnegie agreed. Then he suddenly changed his mind. "There must be other people," he said, "who like music enough to help with their own money."
He told the secretary that if he could find someone else to donate $30,000, Carnegie would match the contribution.
The secretary returned the next day -- successful! More on this in a moment...
I often encounter nodding heads when I talk about the impressive natural medicine of humor. Sometimes, unfortunately, those nodding heads mean that people feel like they are already experts and don't need to learn anything new. I say that anyone with that attitude is half-right.
Let me explain.
You are half-right if you think yourself an expert with nothing new to learn. You are an expert because you were born infused with the natural medicine of humor. Humor and the energy and excellence it produces oozed from your pores as a child. In fact, when my patients begin to hear whispers of jealousy about their new "can-do" attitudes and seemingly boundless optimism, they excited thank me for reminding them of things they once knew like the back of their hand.
You are also half-right because you don't actually have anything new to learn. You already know all the things you need to profit handsomely from the natural medicine of humor. You have simply been conditioned by society to relegate those parts of you, which I help you recapture with my Fun Commandments, to your recreation. So, you only get to experience the deep and replenishing power of your humor, on average, for a mere two or three hours a week. That's just not enough!
Society is very good at convincing us to be serious. We see lots of funny movies, television programs, books, magazines, etc. but, in reality, we are a very serious culture. Just look at how pervasive our political correctness has become -- pirate costumes with eye patches are now not recommended for Halloween costumes because they might offend blind people! (Who's going to tell them?) If we're not careful we are naturally led to take ourselves as seriously we take as our responsibilities and that's when we are really in trouble!
So you are right -- you already know about humor and how to use it. What I can help you do is learn to employ the natural medicine of humor in every area of your life. What would it be worth to you to be closer to your spouse, to be able to hike and ride your bike more often, to spend more time with your grandchildren, to get the job you always wanted, to make friends faster and easier while feeling more at ease in social situations, to enjoy more satisfying sexual intimacy, and to get out of bed with a smile each day because you can't wait to see what the day has to offer? I can't promise you that each one of these exact things will happen to you, but I can tell you that the natural medicine of humor, and my Fun Commandments, have made these things (and more) possible for me, my family, and hundreds of my patients.
Best of all, it won't cost you a dime to learn. Simply visit my website and start learning about the natural medicine of humor.
I know...I know...you already know all about humor. Well, you're right - you do! Now all you have to learn is how become more energetic, successful, healthy, focused, relaxed, confident, creative, and resourceful than you already are! Sound like a good deal? See you at my website.
By the way, the secretary of the New York Philharmonic Society returned to Carnegie the next day and announced he had the donor. Carnegie happily wrote out a check for the other $30,000. Then he asked, "Would you mind telling me who gave you the other half?"
"Mrs. Carnegie," the secretary said.
