10-10-10 for 2010

10-10-10. The magic number I’ll be applying when forming resolutions for 2010.

This 10-10-10 stuff first crept into my life out of the pages of an old Oprah magazine (BTW -  just love it that there are backdated copies available in KL for a mere RM10.00). Suzy Welch raved about how this formula helps when she is stuck with a problem. In fact, she’s got a whole book it.


It’s really quite simple.


Let’s say, you really want to wear that sultry looking outfit but cringe cos you think that a certain frenemy will have a good laugh at your expense.


So, apply the 10-10-10 formula.


First 10
Will the frenemy’s reactions matter in the first ten minutes? Most probably yeah. Hey, you’re human right?


Second 10
How about 10 months later? No. Cos if you’re human, you would have done something even more “interesting” by then!


Final 10
How about 10 years later? Nah! The sultry outfit incident would be but a speck of dust in your memory. And the frenemy would have been ousted from sight.


There you have it – the 10-10-10 formula.


Thinking of furthering your studies? Saving up for a new investment? Taking up a risk in a new business venture? Lending a needy family a badly needed hand? Wondering if you should visit a neglected relative? Or mend broken bridges? 10-10-10 may help you sort out your priorities pretty quickly
