What is your model? On what are you or what are you telling me? These are three extremely important questions that a Smibological thinker faces in life, and that a hardworking student of Smibanese University always has an answer to. Your mo, or your model, is what moves you or makes you move.
We humans have to figure out our motivations before we do shit, otherwise we’ll just do whatever. Just do something, Smibological thinkers don’t get their hands dirty. We at Smibanese University live an extremely meaningful existence. Do nothing without intention.
Your model can be anything. For example, for me as a Professor at the Smibanese University, giving up is not that model. Aufgeber won nie, Gewinner geben nie auf. Because through the Smibology course teach mindset giving up is not an option in my libi – my life. Making shit work, on the other hand, is what makes ‘making it work’ my model, you know?
Your model is your motivation, what you in motion brings. Take, for example, that whole charade called politics, there is also talk of a ‘submission of motion’, right? On that bike! When a member of the House of Representatives submits a motion, he or she puts forward a position that he or she wants to discuss, in order to formulate an action point for the ministers from there. You can see such a motion as the model of that person. Your model describes what you are! You understand? It may have to do with how you want to run the country, but also with your clothing style, the type of car you drive, the profession you practice, the kind of intimacy you seek, your hobbies, in short; it could be anything.
Bottomline, it is imperative that you make sure your mo is well thought out, and at least clear to yourself. It is your compass, for it directs your destiny. If your mo is concrete you will be stronger in that libi, making it a greater pleasure than it already is. You understand? I hope so, because this was the Smibological Scientific side note for this week. Until the next!
