Page 14 - G-Gold to Lead

Have you noticed that people who have Stinky Thinking have it in more than just one area? At first, this Young Man made himself very disappointed that there was not a magical solution (gold) to fix all of his problems. Then he became upset because of his Stinky Thinking, “Past failures predict future failures.”
Now, when the Old Man suggests making a casting net, the Young Man rejects that idea because, “I’ve never made a fishing net. How do I know that this will work?” Now some might say he is just lazy but it is worse than that. He does not want to try new or difficult things. Think about it, everything in life is new and difficult at some point. Leaning how to walk or talk or even eat, are all difficult. However, you learned how to do those things long ago and have forgotten how hard it was to learn them.
But now, you complain about the math or language test you are going to have and about too much homework. You shouldn’t refuse to try just because it is new or difficult. If you do that, you will quit learning and enjoying life.

2. What kind of thinking is that? 3. How did he feel?
4. What was his behavior?
