One Train You Don't Want to Stop

Posted: Nov 27, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

I love horses, frankly I love them a little to much, thus the reason I have more horses than I could ever use. I mean really what are you going to do with 7 horses?

There are many things I love about horses but perhaps one of the biggest thrills I get is training an animal that is ten times the size I am and getting them to do what I want, not necessarily what they want.  Although each horse I have ever trained is extremely different with unique personalities, there is a simple training process that can be adapted for each animal.  Reward good behavior and punish bad behavior.  Let me give you an example.

Most horses don't like to run!  Given a choice they will walk around all day and eat.  So when I am training my horses if they do something that I am not happy with I punish them by making them run.  It is shocking how quickly the horse catches on.  They quickly realize that if they do something inappropriate there is a direct consequence that they do not like. On the other hand, when they do something that I like they are immediately rewarded.  And the reward does not have to be complex: a pat, some brushing or simply letting them stand still and do nothing is often reward enough.

Too often in life we get so caught up in trying to get people to do what we want when we want that we don't stop to think, "is there are better way?"  Simply stated there is a better way "Train" them.

It doesn't matter whether you are talking about your business, your personal life or even how you interact with your friends. It is possible to train them for the results you want.  For example if you want your clients to leave reviews of your products, reward the behavior you want,  i.e " for each review of our product you will get entered in a chance to win a free case of XYZ".

You can train your clients too:  Visit more often, leave reviews, refer yourself/your product to others, become repeat customers and on and on.  You just have to start training them!

    The person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labour and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace in whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them, they are always doing both.

    A vegivore is a person who craves or has a special fondness for vegetables. This need not be because the person has an aversion to eating meat but solely due to an intense craving for vegetables. To a vegivore, meat products may only seem like an accompaniment to add flavour to the dish. He/she will find the vegetable dish more satiating than the meat dish.

    "The Sun, called Tonatiuh, was invoked by the names of "the shining one", "the beautiful child", "the eagle thatsoars". He was generally represented by a disk, decorated in Aztec fashion. This disk is widely known because it is an essential part of the celebrated monument called the Aztec Calendar, which is simply a very elaborate representation of the Sun."

    During the recent Olympics I marveled at the physical and physiological strength of each of the athletes who competed. A friend of mine often remarks that he is a "Mental Giant" and I had to think that each of those Olympians was a mental giant in their own right. There is a lot that goes into preparing for an event such as the Olympics. Time, nutrition, work-outs all play a major role, but I think it could be argued that the mental aspect is the most taxing.

    This weekend a close friend and I were training for an upcoming triathlon when my friend's phone rang. He talked for a moment then started laughing and said "welcome to the 21st century!"
