LOOK AT LIFE IN DIFFERENT WAYS

DOES THIS MESSAGE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO IN LIFE?

YES, IT DOES!

1.

DO NOT ASSUME:

The major problem was that most people had always seen round watermelons so
they automatically assumed that square watermelons were impossible before
even thinking about the question.

Things that you have been doing a certain way your entire life have taken on the aura of
the round watermelon and you likely don't even take the time to consider if there is
another way to do it. Breaking yourself from assuming this way can greatly
improve your overall life as you are constantly looking for new and better
ways to do things.

2. QUESTION HABITS:

The best way to tackle these assumptions is to question your habits. If you can make
an effort to question the way you do things on a consistent basis, you will find that
you can continually improve the way that you work.

Forming habits when they have been well thought out is usually a positive
thing, but most of us have adopted our habits from various people and places without
even thinking about them.

3. BE CREATIVE:
When faced with a problem, be creative in looking for a solution. This
often requires thinking outside the box. Most people who viewed this
question likely thought they were being asked how they could genetically alter
water melons to grow square, which would be a much more difficult process to
accomplish. By looking at the question from an alternative perspective,
however, the solution was quite simple.

Being creative at looking at things in different ways in all portions of
your life, it will help you find solutions to many problems where
others can't see them.

4. LOOK FOR A BETTER WAY:
The square watermelon question was simply seeking a better and more
convenient way to do something. The stores had flagged a problem they
were having and asked if a solution was possible. It's impossible to find a better
way, if you are never asking the question in the first place.

Get into the habit of asking yourself, 'Is there a better way I could be
doing this?' and you will find there often is.

5. IMPOSSIBILITIES JUST DON'T EXIST:
If you begin with the notion that something is impossible, then it
obviously will be for you. If, on the other hand, you decide to see if
something is possible or not, you will find out through trial and
error it is possible.

Take away the lessons from the square watermelons and
apply them to all areas in your life (work, finances,
relationships, etc.), and you will find that by consistently
applying them, you will constantly be improving all
aspects of your life.
