    Due to a clerical error, a man gets to choose whether he spends eternity in heaven or hell.

    He asks if he can take a quick peek at both before he chooses.



    They show him the canteen in hell first.

    It's a massive banquet table with fabulous food and beautiful ornate chairs. The smells make his mouth water and stomach grumble.

    He wonders if this is a mistake.

    The dinner bell sounds and people shuffle in silently. They look gaunt and miserable, with a tortured look in their eyes.

    They seat themselves and start to eat. It's then he notices the spoons are 2 feet long.

    The delicious food falls off the spoons as they try in vain to feed themselves.



    They show him the canteen in heaven next.

    It's a massive banquet table with fabulous food and beautiful ornate chairs. The smells make his mouth water and stomach grumble.

    It looks exactly the same as the canteen in hell.

    He looks closely and all the spoons are 2 feet long.

    He wonders if this is a mistake.

    The dinner bell sounds and people file in chatting amongst themselves. They look well-fed and happy, with big smiles on their faces.

    The seat themselves and start to eat.

    They use the 2 foot spoons to scoop up the delicious food and serve the person opposite them.



    The canteens are exactly the same.

    For some it's heaven, because they choose to help each other.

    For others it's hell, because they choose to help themselves.



    Your experience of this forum, business, and life, will differ depending on what you choose.

    The real question is:

    How can I make and sell an online course that teaches people the best tactics for 10Xing their results from 2ft spoons?

    Or, maybe whitelabel a 1ft spoon and sell it on Amazon.

    Haha. I have a copy somewhere. The first chapter was a doozy. Then someone borrowed it.

    I’ll get it on Audible. I prefer listening to books at the moment.

    (Slaps wrist and goes to check Audible...)

    MJ isn’t that old. I think he’s probably only got a couple of years on me (if that!).

    I admire the honesty considering @Andy Black could’ve just (falsely) added the badge!

    Definitely one of my favorite stories in the book and very appropriate to the forum and life.

    Lets be clear: I did not write this story, from what I researched, it's a variation of an old folk tale.

    Even though this story is already on unscripted, thank you @Andy Black for this reminder, it helped me realize certain areas of life where I wasn't aplying this mentality.
