Fing Has A Lot Going For It
Whoever one is, and wherever one is, one is always in the wrong if one is rude. — Maurice Baring
You definitely dont want to be rude and undoubtedly avoid what you have come to think of as rude or vulgar behavior. Eric Hoffer punctuated the point when he said, Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength. You are neither weak nor an imitation of anyone or anything else. You are definitely your own person and are most certainly not rude. However, there is a little tip that may come in handy now and then, even for a classy person like you. It expands your options a tad as you keep your commitment not to be rude or vulgar.
Have you heard people talking whose vocabulary seems to be so adjective challenged that everything is Fing this or Fing that? It can get to where its hard to tell whether Fing is a good quality or bad. Of course, Fing is also sometimes a verb which one presumes refers to desirable activity but even that isnt always clear. The problem here is that Fing has become a word that people who are even slightly literate carefully avoid, along with staying away from people who include it in their active vocabularies. This is unfortunate since Fing actually has a lot going for it if managed thoughtfully. You are skeptical? Read on.
Do you ever have trouble sticking to your personal priorities? Even worse, do you sometimes have trouble knowing what your priorities are? The next time you find yourself struggling with whats important or what deserves your attention, remember that its only a temporary memory laps. You have just forgotten about Fing.
F1 = Family: Whats that you are saying? You have higher priorities than your family? OK. You must be way into money or power or both. If so, you definitely have no interest in this kind of Fing. Your kind of Fing is quite another approach to success. Lets hope that you are very good at it and that the next person you meet isnt better at it than you. If they are, you are likely to learn a tough lesson that you are unlikely to enjoy. Nonetheless, its your choice. The rest of us will stick with F1 = Family.
F2 = Friends: Lets restrict friends to people you could call in the middle of the night and ask them if they will do you a big favor. Sure, you can call anyone whenever you feel like it. Friends are the ones who dont ask if you have lost your Fing mind. Actually, they dont ask anything. They just say, Sure, and wait to see what you need. Do you have a friend like that? If so, thank your lucky stars and be sure you never do anything to jeopardize such a special relationship. You have hit the people jackpot.
F3 = Fun: There you go again, mumbling in the middle of this essay. You are too busy for fun. You have too much responsibility to take time out for fun. You are going to have lots of fun just as soon as you are successful. You have your priorities and having fun isnt one of them. Oh well, it seemed worth mentioning. While you are keeping your shoulder to the grind stone, the rest of us are going to take a little time now and then for some fun. You never know. You might notice us and decide that it looks like so much fun that you will give it a try, if you remember how. Lets hope that you still remember how once you are finished becoming successful and that you are still up to it whenever that day finally arrives.
F4 = Food: Yes, eating healthy is important and we are what we eat and there isnt any free lunch. But since you need to eat, you might as well make it a priority. Its better than Fasting which is the only other F word in that category. What is the absolute best snack in the world? No, dont worry about regular, every day food. You will work enough of that in without making it a priority. Think about a great snack, a totally terrific snack, the perfect snack. Do you have it in mind? Can you taste it? Is it at the center of your attention? OK. Thats called prioritizing. How will you get that snack for yourself? Thats called planning. Now, make that snack yours. Thats called performance. There you go. Prioritize, Plan, Perform. That snack is yours.
F5 = Faith: This one is easy. Have faith in your family. Have faith in your friends. Have fun while you prioritize, plan, and perform. Most importantly, have faith in you. If you do, you are assuredly going to be an Fing success. Now just how cool is that? Sure, its Fing cool.
