To the one, without
whom I wouldn’t levitate by an inch.
If you take a look at people considered successful you’ll
often find that they were linked with strong feelings with someone else. Albert
Einstein, Jack Welch, or Roger Dowson and others who impacted reality in
significant way openly admit how much impact their marriages had on their way
to success.
As I have been blessed to experience this phenomenon myself,
let me share with you, why should you seek a deep relationship with another
person.
1. The second half will be the first instance for honest
feedback. You should appreciate that and ask them often “What do you think?”.
It’s the second half you’ll turn to for mock-up interviews, negotiation
strategies and sales strategies. The more different person she or he is from
you, the more you’ll learn.
2. The second half will not only easily advise on your
perpetual tie dilemma, and help you to start your day. If you are propitious
enough, they will also make sure you will not starve or get dehydrated. It
appears to be really useful in case you experience one of these blissful
productivity moments or acts of brain-origami, which make you accidentally
forget about the whole world.
3. Preventing from starving or dehydration also refers to
sport events you may take part in, including long distance runs in particular.
No one else, but your second will come up with “homemade power muffins” and
something to drink at the route, in case you are not a fan of running with
bottles in the hand or backpack. And hunger after 20th kilometer
while doing the marathon cannot be compared to anything else, after 30th
one you start dreaming about eating a whole cow. She or he will be there your
biggest and most devoted fan.
4. The second half will be the instance of last resort when
you are active in the web and no one want to give you endorsement, like, to
share or retweet whatever digital content
you create and publish. If you ask very kindly you may even be given a
feedback on the content before it goes viral on whether it’s appealing for
broader audience.
5. The second half is the source of “daily inspiration
chunks” always if you are open and listen for them. Recently I was inspired to
start thinking about launching a blog for novice entrepreneurs who have a
home-made product, but don't know how to sell it or finance their development.
I'm starting to think that there might be a niche for something like this.
Einstein's memorandum to his wife may seem horrid at a first
glance, but I think it's something wonderful to find a person, who will accept
not only your best side, but also your quirks and even some selfish demands,
communicated honestly, and heard up without fussing. The important thing to
remember is that it should also work in reverse.
So be good to your second half. And don’t forget about
making incoming St. Valentine ’s Day special.
