I should listen to people more.
I should shut the hell up and listen.
See I'm not one of those people that ask for help. I ALWAYS struggle through stuff without asking for help rather than doing the smart thing and asking. If someone said to me ‘Mike, we need you to dismantle this bomb while performing brain surgery and doing this rubric’s cube. To help you we have a person from the bomb squad, a brain surgeon and the world champion of rubrics cube (if there is such a thing)’.
You know what I would say?
‘Fuck you! I can do that shit, I can do anything! Pass the fucking cube!’
See I know this is a massive character flaw and its something that I'm trying to work on. This was high lighted to me the other day as my trainer decided to force himself on my weights workout. As I have always trained alone I have never had anyone to tighten up my technique, he kicked my arse into tighten up my lifts and its something I really appreciate.
It made me realise that I have a ton of people at my disposal that know a lot about things I am doing or things I want to do from getting in better shape to opening my own business in the future. I shall start picking their brain immediately.
Here is the 5 things I am bumming this week
1) UFC 100
2) Stir fry
3) Marvels Dark Reign series
4) Dead Lifts
5) Twinnings Green tea.
3 Things that irritate me
1) People who stand right behind me while I'm doing lifts till I have finished. Just ask to jump in on my rests?
2) People who make crap excuses why they can’t get into shape rather than being honest with themselves. My favourites are ‘I don’t have time’ or ‘I cant afford it’. What utter shit, look I work two jobs (one of which is 60 hours a week), see my girl friend/family/friends, I'm going back to collage part time and I STILL can find the time to train. As for the money issue, if you go out drinking or eat at fast food places I'm just going to let you remove yourself from the gene pool.
3) That I am yet to be bit by a radio active spider.
3 things I want
1) To be bit for a radio active spider
2) A slow cooker
3) Megan Fox
Cheers
