In December, I’ll be staying at home. No travels– for business or fun. And I’m looking forward to that because Emily and I are moving to a new place to stay!
But the condo is not 100% renovated yet.
Last week, the worker was fixing the shower pipe in the bathroom and he turned off the main water valve. The reason he did that is to avoid anyone using the shower because it’ll require 3 hours for the shower pipe to ‘stick’. If water starts flowing through it, the pipe might leak and all work will be wasted.
But here’s the thing– he left after his work was done but didn’t turn back on the water valve on the next day. So we’re ‘stuck’ without water in the condo.
I tried to turn back the valve but it’s useless because it’s so tight! My guess was he used a spanner that time. It was hopeless.
So Emily called him up to come over to turn it on with his spanner because we don’t have any. And he replied on the phone, “I didn’t use any spanner. Any adult man can turn it on if he applied some extra strength to it.”
I couldn’t believe it. So I tried to turn on the valve again but this time, I believe that I’ll be able to turn it on. And you know the result– the water valve was turned on.
The difference?
The first time I did it without believing that I can.
The second time I did it with the expectation that it’ll be turned on.
Because I believe I can, then I CAN.
Isn’t that what happen to our life most of the time?
There are people who want salary raise but don’t believe that they deserve it so they never got it.
There are people who want to start a business but don’t believe they have the capability so they failed.
Isn’t that interesting?
