Work From Home Business – the Last Straw Effect

We know the idiom “It is the last straw that broke the camel’s back”. This idiom is derived from a story about a camel being loaded with straw until a single straw placed on the rest of the load broke its back.

“It is the last straw that broke the camel's back” implies that there is a limit to everyone's endurance; everyone has his breaking point. Equivalent idioms can be found in many languages, among others Danish, Swedish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian (listed in Wikipedia), in the form: the drop of water that made the glass/barrel/bucket overflow.

“The last straw” therefore is used to mean the final additional small burden that makes the entirety of one's difficulties (say, in work from home business) unbearable, that finally brought about the collapse of something, or something deemed to be the last in a series of unacceptable occurrences, such as giving up the pursuit of work from home online opportunity.

However, I want to shed a different light to this idiom. I invite you to see the camel not as a victim, but as a barrier or obstacle which must be broken. In this light, the last straw means something — effort, contribution or push — that finally brings about the collapse of stubborn barrier(s) or obstacle(s) — such as fruitlessness, rejection or failures in your work from home business. We all realize, however, that this last straw can be effective only if there have been lots and lots of straw loaded previously.
Using the afore-mentioned example, the fruitlessness in your work from home business can be overcome only after a lot of push has been contributed to the work from home business. You finally manage to break the obstacle in your pursuit of work from home online opportunity!

• Colonel Harlan Sanders drove around the country, sleeping in his car, looking for restaurants that might be interested to buy his recipe for fried chicken. He was rejected 1,009 times before someone finally said “yes”. He made a fortune as the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken because he did not stop after he was rejected 1,009 times.

• Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb — and failed. Yet he said, “We know that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb.” Edison eventually gave the world the electric light bulb because he did not give up after the long series of failures, and, instead, gave it one more try.

Colonel Sanders’ and Thomas Edison’s last straw eventually opened the door of opportunities.

Your journey to work from home business is full of barriers, obstacles and roadblocks which you must overcome — ‘the camel’ which back must be broken. Give your best efforts to complete your pursuit of work from home based business. Work hard. Be persistent. Don’t give up; always give ‘one more try’. Be faithful to load and load and load your straws to the ‘camel’s back’. Eventually the final single straw placed on the rest of the straws broke the camel’s back — the obstacle to your pursuit in work from home online opportunity. Your great success or breakthrough (a broken back) of work from home business is achieved by a seemingly inconsequential addition (a single straw).

“The last straw effect” works for Colonel Sanders and Thomas Edison. It will work for you too. You will find that the last straw will get you to your goal to succeed in work from home business.
