Ever see THE WIZ? The better version of the Wizard of Oz with incredible music and stage production ?
In it, Scarecrow has one mission in life— to have a brain. So he joins Dorothy to meet the Wizard of Oz and ask for some brains.
But it always surprised me because… so many people don’t have brains and live the lives they want.
For example:
- Dr. Nick Patterson is a modern science marvel who works in computational biology. Earned his degree at Cambridge, and now serves on Medical boards at MIT and Harvard. Something people with 100% struggle to achieve, and yet… he only has 10% brain volume since his skull is mostly filled with spinal fluid.
- A 44-year-old man with wife and kids works as a civil servant and literally did it with virtually no brain. He couldn’t because 90% of it was missing since he suffered from water in his skull that crushed his brain into a tiny size.
- A 24-year old woman stated to have gone her entire life not knowing she didn’t have a cerebellum. The part of the the brain that controls balance, motor movement and motor learning.
- But 12-year-old Trevor Waltrip has them beat because he lived his life with ONLY a brain stem. He had literally no brain at all.
Each case more bizarre than a talking and singing Scarecrow.
Each case diagnosed a decade or more after you’d think issues would present. And each case debunking what you “know” about brain power and your earnest pursuit of more knowledge.
Funny thing is, as Scarecrow is searching for a solution to his problem, he’s learning a lot, quoting Confucius, and dancing expertly for a dude that’s never used his feet before.
His true problem wasn’t “not knowing enough”, it was not knowing what to do with what he had to enjoy the success that he wanted. Crows in the cornfield played him for a fool and told him he couldn’t do anything, and he believed them.
That’s all it takes for you to be counted out of the fight.
Unless you know better…
It’s what we subscribers in TOP OF MIND know all too well.
They’ve certainly got brains, but they’re focusing on how to leverage what they know. They’re no longer stalling, pining over intangible dreams, and making excuses to not commit to action because they HAVE TO “learn more technical skills”.
We ain’t got time for all that. Got customers to serve. Empires to grow. Lives we want to enjoy not squander.
