I have no ecological conscience, but I do adhere to a particular principle:
If it can be repaired, we repair it. No need to take anything new. This applies to relationships, objects, places, memories, everything. So, recently, one of my petrol-powered cars started to kick like a young woman learning to drive manually. The problem is, my car is automatic.
The transmission,” I thought.
I’ll call Daniel, my personal mechanic, whom I see more often than my kids see vegetables. I explain the problem to Daniel as best I can with mouth sounds.
It goes like this: BRRRRRRRRRR PAAW PAAWWWW when I accelerate and it goes FIEWWWWWWW fiewwwww when I stop.
So, Daniel, experimenting as he is, answers me:
”Call my transmission guy, the guy is being honest.”.
Perfect! My problem will be gone soon enough, I thought.
I make an appointment with the honest transmission mechanic, and when I get there, he tells me no, it’s not your transmission. In fact, I’ve never heard of anyone changing their transmission with the tank you’ve got. If you want, I can change your transmission oil. I can only see you need to do it, but that won’t solve your problem.
..Well
It deserves to be clear.
But since I’m living a good life with my online bizz, it’s not a problem! Yann Brainy says, “Let’s go, change that oil for me”.
The transmission guy told me ”you car can last another 10 years and even more; it’s in very good condition.”
(Thanks, but it’s still broken)
I come out with a broken car that still goes BRRRRRRRR PAW PAWWWW when I accelerate, but at least I’ve got a new transmission oil. So I called Daniel back and explained the situation again, adding more mouth noise since I’d changed the oil. He refers me to another guy, “Robert”. Call him, he’s so honest, he won’t rob you.
(Everyone thinks that car mechanics are skammmers and I think it’s true; most of them are)
I explained my problem and the whole situation to Robert over the phone. He tells me:
“Check engine on or off?”
”off”, I reply.
Check part (NAME I didn’t remember) next to the engine; if it’s cracked, that’s it. It costs 20 dollars and you can do it yourself, have a nice day.
I open my hood and notice that …
YES, IT’S CRACKED!
I ordered the part on Amazon and made it myself… that was it!
My principle was still correct. Always repair what you can repair. As far as ecological awareness is concerned, I think it’s a farce. Those in charge would have us believe that we must do better for the planet, but do nothing about the companies that are the biggest polluters. They’re laughing in their beards because they’re pocketing money from that too, but mention that ecology is essential, just to look good!
Bringing back the big 8-cylinder gas tanks that make all the noise and clatter.
P.S. Sometimes all it takes to succeed is a minor tweak, a small piece.. like my car part. You think it’s big, but it just takes a little tuning. For those of you who would like to join my waiting list for online coaching, reply to this email. It’s the only way to join, because no one can buy immediately (I pick who I want to work with). You have to go through the waiting list, and occasionally, I open up availability to join my program, with the possibility of joining within 24 hours only.
This is for you if you want to sell online products such as coaching, courses, or someone else’s offer. And being on my waiting list doesn’t mean I will accept your money for my coaching. Just to be clear..
