Joke: Where Is the Muscle Growing?
After “hibernating” in his man cave with computers and game consoles the entire winter, Joe decided to bulk up and get his beach body before the summer arrives. He hired a personal trainer Michael. Joe showed up every training session without missing a single one. Michael is such an empathetic and hard working trainer who has the heart to help Joe out. Joe worked very hard and each time he gets to his threshold reps his body shakes like a rattle, his sweat runs down like rivers, and the gym is filled with his obnoxious noise of efforts. Michael would kindly help him hold the barbell so he can smoothly finish the remaining reps. Joe is so thankful for his caring trainer.
Summer finally came. Guess what? Michael laid down on the beach with his amazing beach body. The muscle that Joe paid to grow all ended up on Michael’s body.
Muscle only grows where efforts are made. For career and learning, the best way to gain something is to put yourself there, make the efforts, and do it. The best way to help someone grow is to guide them to endure the growing pain themselves.
