The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.George Bernard Shaw
ps here's some more ideas about rhinos and cows
'There are different types of people in the world. Thank goodness we are not all alike. That would definitely be boring. Some people are happy with a job with a good company for many years, then retiring, others dont want to keep the same job for too long and keep looking for something better, and still others want to work for themselves.
I read a great book one time called Rhinoceros Success. Actually it was the first of a three part series of books by Scott Alexander. In the book he described people and the hunt for success in a very unique way. Ill give you a taste of what he tried to put across in his books.
There have been a lot of books written about how to sell, how to succeed in business, and other similar titles. Many of them give complicated formulas for success. In Scotts books, he broke it down really simple.
He said, there are two types of people in the world, rhinos and cows. There are happy and sad rhinos and there are happy and sad cows.
Lets start with the sad rhino. You all know a sad rhino. He or she is the workaholic. They are very successful at what they do but they are miserable doing it. They have a drive to succeed and make everyone around them miserable, but succeed they do.
These are the people that yell a lot, stress out over deadlines, and think the world is coming to an end if they don't succeed at every little thing they do and when they don't its someone else's fault for not being a sad rhino too.
They are also the people who tend to die young of a heart attack or a stroke because of the enormous pressure they put on themselves. But don't worry. If you are a sad rhino, I have advice for you later in this article.
Now, lets go on to the happy rhino. These people are just as driven as the sad rhino to succeed, except they enjoy every minute of it. They know success is an elusive prey, but its the actual hunt they love more than the success itself.
They will always succeed because they do enjoy the hunt, not just the achievement after the hunt. Its not even about the money. They enjoy succeeding and pushing those around them to succeed. They are usually ones who will give others more than their fair share of chances to succeed.
If you are a happy rhino, I have good news and bad news for you. Ill give you the bad news first. I dont have any advice for you later in this article. The good news is, you dont need my advice. You are well on your own way to success. Ill see you there. But make sure you are really a happy rhino.
A happy rhino gets up every morning way before they need to because they look forward to every day and want to get a head start. A happy rhino doesnt need to yell at and bully others because they will follow the happy rhinos lead out of respect and because they want to be like them. A happy rhino leads by example.
A happy rhino lets nothing get in their way. In the wild a real rhino charges at its prey in a straight line. If weeds and brush scratch at them, they have a thick skin and ignore it. If they fall down, they get right back up and immediately begin charging at their prey. There are single-minded of purpose, looking straight ahead and will not lose focus on their goal.
If success in your home business is your prey and you want to be a happy rhino, you have to do the things a happy rhino does. You have to charge after your success, not just do a daily grind. You have to enthusiastically charge! You cannot let the little things equal to the brush and weeds bother you. Have a thick skin and ignore those as just distractions. If something knocks you down, you have to immediately get back up and charge after your successful home business. So, are you really a happy rhino yet?'
