You Can Be Incredibly Successful by Giving an Excuse
Because incredible success starts with an excuse — then, it turns into a purpose.
The worst part about going for dinner on wife’s birthday is after returning home: you have to clean the house and make the bed.
Plus, when you’re the only one who can teach programming in a fun way, you are done.
You can’t even give excuses because you know she won’t listen. But you’re courageous this time: “Baby, I’m not feeling well today” and you’re off to bed.
She calls you a few times but even if Sun burns your pocket, you aren’t getting up.
The problem ignites when you finally wake up, in the afternoon. Without brushing, you come closer to her: “Baby, let’s start with programming.”
“Shut up. I’m not in the VIP mood.”
“Okay baby.”
The next day? She still isn’t in the VIP mood.
Not even the whole week.
She’s finally in her VIP mood on next Saturday. But, you have to be out on a business trip for three days.
You can write well. And, she loves to read. “I’ll write the concepts for you before going for work, baby.”
