This is an obvious lesson, but adults – and kids both – need to learn it – re-learn it – and so forth.

I often catch myself getting lazy with dusting my laptop off and stuff, for example.

Sure, it’s hardly anywhere near filthy, but China for one – and even countries like India (which are worse) and if youre living near construction etc anywhere – a lot of dust “seems to enter from nowehere” – and settle anyway!

I’ve never figured out how the dust piled up in my China apartment, with windows ALWAYS closed and A/C always on.

No, dirty filters weren’t the issue. I cleaned them.

Bozo would have kittens if I asked him to, hehe, but I didnt.

But anyway, that aside – I’ll never forget the time my wife asked the daughter to clean her bike.

The YELL!

“I’m not your servant, Dad!”

(Since I got the responsibility of getting her to do it, as I do when she cleans her room – if she ever does – LOL)

(which is fine, hehe)

But while my daughter is admittedly in some regards molly coddled (partly due to our own uber strict upbringing) – some of this is good as well i.e. let kids be kids – I got her to do it anyway.

You should have seen her. Hehe. At the time she said it, it might as well have been one of those adult brats the Bozo so loves!

Princess, indeed!

But anyway …

She cleaned it, but at first, sparingly.

I gently rebuked her.

The rods, honey.

The handlebar. And so forth.

If you’ve seen Over the Top, and Sly polishing his old truck till it GLEAMED – you’ll know what I mean!

Bollywood, if you’re a fan of the hilarious Houseful series, in II, you’ll see the “once bandit turned millionaire in the UK” still clean his steed – a white HORSE – stallion – as he did many years ago when he rode it with a rifle

“Jagga kitna bhi bada ho haye, kitna bhi ucha pahuche, per zameen par!”

My Hindi is rusty.

But thats what he said!

I.e. “I might touch the sky, but my feet remain firmly rooted”.

Theres lessons in all this WE can learn, friend.

How often do we let our surroundings – our rooms etc “go to shit” because who cares, we couldn’t be bothered to clean it…

Take pride in what is yours, my friend.

Keep it in tip top shape.

Because if you dont respect whats YOURS, it wont respect YOU.

And it won’t give you returns down the line – the opposite  actually. You might think “well those are just inanimate objects” – when I told my little girl, thats what she replied – but truth is, everything is thought, friend.

That is an unescapable fact of LIFE.

Fitness, same damn thing.

RESPECT your routines, they’ll get you through the roughest of scrapes and toughest of times!

RESPECT your training tools.

RESPECT your fitness books (and for the cheapasses, well, enough said).

Most of all, respect the time people such as me put into creating stellar products like I give you …

And that, my friend, is that. Lots of lessons, eh!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Remember, friend, the price for Lumberjack LODESTONE Fitness WILL go up.

So if you haven’t got that pre-order in, do so NOW. (because very soon,even that will be gone).
