More often than not, the little things are right in front of you. We try to think so hard about how to find solutions to different problems that we don’t realize all we have to do is look right in front of us. We get so worked up with trying to do things right that we can run ourselves into a situation where we don’t get anything done at all.
I love this example of that in practice- this classic episode from The Honeymooners. Ralph Kramden, in all his haste thinking he would ace all the questions on “The $99,000 Answer,” ignores the warm-up music when he’s practicing.
When it comes time for the show: Mr. Kramden, for $100, who is the composer of Swanee River?”
(…Blank stare…)
This moment teaches a valuable lesson: Sometimes the answer to the big question is right in front of you. Brilliance can be found in stating the obvious.
Never let over-confidence get in the way of you making sound decisions. Remember, the "what else" in life is always in the details.
I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
You certainly hit the nail on the head with your analysis. I love this episode too. In fact, my seventh-grade writing students are viewing it this week and writing a response on it. Thanks!
