Have you ever opened a Chinese fortune cookie and done a double take, because the message got you, just when you needed it? Every time? Some of the time? Never?
Here’s mine from a lunch with a girlfriend the other day. It was a half serious, half funny strategy session on networking and solving romance problems. Those are prime girlfriend lunch topics.
The fortune cookie said, “You’ll never know what you can do until you try.”
Its a message for everyone to motivate you, in the depths of winter, when hearing a message like this just might help you move from keeping all the balls in the air, toward something new.
We need to think outside of that box these days. Creativity, resourcefulness, new ideas.
Here is another quote, from Albert Einstein. He said something like, you can’t solve the problem with the same thinking that caused it in the first place.
Albert Einstein and fortune cookies, now there is a thought spurring combination for a snowy Thursday.
