Five Easy Minutes

By Tommy Leung on 04/24/2010 in Life

We are surrounded by products that offer us a quick and easy solution. We see most of them with fitness products–4 weeks to six pack abs! Isn’t it odd how many of these programs there are? Certainly, if any of these products worked as advertised, why would we need another?

The secret is this: they don’t work.

Often, there is no quick and easy way to where you want to go. There are only snake oil salesman telling you they’ve found the shortcut. The long forgotten secret. The magical incantation.

If there was a quick and easy way, no one would have to sell it to you over and over. It would be widely used. That’s what happens to good ideas: they spread.

There are best ways to do things. There are optimal ways to six pack abs. It just isn’t going to take 4 weeks. It’s quicker than doing it wrong. But, it’ll be work–hard work. It’s definitely not magic.

So buckle down and do the work; it’ll get you there. It won’t be quick and it won’t be easy but, you’ll get there.

Greatness doesn’t come in 4 weeks, just 15 minutes a day, or in five easy minutes.
