Are You The Squeaky Wheel?

Posted by Aaron Walker on Mar 18, 2015 5:13:00 AM


Is this not the best time in history? We are afforded opportunities today like never before. The modern technology is fabulous, and the information highway provides answers in milliseconds. If I have a need or a consuming desire, within minutes I can find a solution and instructions on the internet. Within 24 hours, I can reach any location on the globe. Google will supply directions and an interpretation device that allows me to overcome any language barrier. 

Even with all this information, technology and modern day amenities, there is invariably someone dissatisfied. No matter how fast, convenient, big or sophisticated things can be, someone's not happy. There is a squeaky wheel in every group; someone's not with the program! Historically, this person talks louder, meaner and demands it their way. It's too cold, too warm, too loud, or he can barely hear it. I can't believe they charge this much for that or how wasteful it is to give so much. I've decided I don't want it. It's too much trouble, too long and considerably overpriced. I lost the receipt but I still demand my money back. No one will be able to relax until he gets satisfied, don't you understand, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Why Do Some People Go Above and Beyond?

Posted by Aaron Walker on Mar 17, 2015 12:09:00 PM

I find it very interesting where we place our value. There are a few things I'm unwilling to pay for such as

  • overpriced meals
  • fashion clothing
  • meaningless art

I'm not suggesting that these particular items are void completely of any intrinsic value; I'm simply stating that I, personally, am unwilling to pay for these luxuries. It could be my lack of understanding or education as it relates to these interests, or it might be I'm just too conservative for my own good. One area that I am willing to dole out the cash for is extreme experiences such as 

  • great entertainment
  • lavish trips
  • superb customer service

Today I Will Choose To Be Happy

Posted by Aaron Walker on Mar 9, 2015 12:02:00 PM

 

What a great day it is!!! I look outside at the blowing wind and the pouring rain and think without it everything would be withered and dry. Is it ruining my day? Absolutely not. We can't have mountain tops without the valleys. We can't have beautiful flowers without the rain. We can't be thankful for the good times without the challenges.
