Several recent events by colleagues have left me thinking,some of us have a very high perception of ourselves and can literally 'walk on water'. Some claim to have predicted the wordlwide financial crisis, some know for sure the cure for cancer and next week's 4D Toto numbers and even some can tell me 'next week the stock market surely will go up'. The reality is that they can be so prescient but can't be productive enough or realistic enough to either do something about their predictions or make some capital gain from their ideas. They are most often located in the coffeshop or lounging around in cyberspace on various chatlines when the boss is not around.They have so grandiose thoughts that they forget the very mundane or obvious aspects of their life like a) coming to work on time, b) taking care of customers c) taking care of their boss or principals d) work colleagues emails e) being reliable and can be counted upon.
There seems to be a correlation between the Coffeshop Nostradamus (Accurate Predicter of the Future) and his Current Financial Status (which is quite desperate) normally. So I can Prredict this Principle :
Nostrudamus Socrates Principle : The more you Predict or Philosophise about things, the Poorer you will be !
That is because you will be so busy stoning or worrying about the future trends that you have no time to do a decent job and hence you will be fired, or have no time for a proper job. Come to think of it, the Greek gods were so full of themselves that one wonders if they could ever be gainfully employed !
The message here is : "Get Real, Legends are Created by Other People About You, Not by Yourself !!".
