When we learn something, mostly we learn from experts and winners of that particular field. Most of people don’t count on losers. Nevertheless, some people approach to losers and they try to know things to avoid. Here is a true story (except the name, John).
One day, my students introduced me with Mr. John in a dinner, when I was living in Thailand. Mr. John was an American and he was also living in Thailand. During the conversation, I had the chance to know that John was an instructor of stock market. Cool.
So I asked, “John, are you teaching how to play in a stock market?”
John said, “Yes, I teach some students and businessmen how to learn buying, selling, increasing and decreasing of the stock prices in the market.”
I said, “Great! Are you a stock broker in the United States?”
He answered, “Well, yes, I was. I was a milliner. I lost all my money in stock market.”
His answer made me both of surprising and interesting.
I looked at him. He was talking very honestly.
I said, “Wow! It is very interesting, John. So what do your students learn from you?”
He answered, “They learn what are Dos and Don’ts in stock market.”
Then I said, “John, let me frankly and openly say here, I think your students mostly could learn from you, especially Don’ts rather than Dos, right?”
He laughed and said, “Yap.”
I curiously asked one more question, “Are your students successful in stock market?”
He said, “Oh, yes, some guys are milliners already.”
I said, “John, you are not a loser in a stock market. You are still a winner.”
He smiled.
After I came back to my room from dinner, I was thinking that was ‘Win-Win’ situation for both of Mr. John and the learners. They all can make benefit from knowing Don’ts. It is also one of the beautiful things in Learning Horizon, which has no limitation for everyone.
Knowing things how to avoid will make your success.
Have a good day and be a successful person in your life!
