================== ARTICLE START ==================

As you may know, as soon as you put yourself on a diet, you

only have one thought left: to eat. Sooner or later, it will

overcome you...except if you hit first.

When was the last time you focused so much on a task that you

forgot to eat? You did not really forget, but you were too much

interested in what you were working on to stop doing it and go

to the fridge. Years ago, when your body was slim and your head

swollen with projects, did you ever think that to be a grown up

would not mean to be responsible and free?

Stop looking for somebody to sue: nobody shovelled food in your

mouth. Stop whining about commercials that influence you: nobody

tied you up in front of the telly. Stop opening your mouth and

closing your mind.

You know, everybody know, that the higher the education, the

lower the weight. If you point at a person you know who has a

PhD and 30 extra pounds, you act exactly as those people who

say that there is no correlation between smoking and lung

cancer since their grand father died of old age after having

smoked thousands of cigarettes. I don't write for you. Bye bye!

Now that we are between us, let's move on to the main point.

How much does this portrait look like you:

- You often feel incredibly bored,

- You think that you are more worth than what you show,

- If you were given a new start, you would lead your life

differently,

- You cannot help wishing something else than getting up to go

to work each morning,

- In fact, it looks sometimes so vain that you'd rather stay in

bed.

Do you recognize yourself? If yes, the choice is limited:

either you fall in a depression, or you feed your brains. Since

in order to get out of a depression, you would have to feed your

brains, jump directly to the second solution!

First, recognize your qualities and make them shine in others'

eyes. Modesty? You are not asked to show haughtiness but to get

a sense of pride from your abilities. Would the world be better

if Mozart's father had shyly hidden his son's gift? Don't let

anyone mislead you: those who advocate modesty have nothing to

show. Most time, they do not want you to succeed because it

would be the evidence of their own failure. They brandish their

righteousness against you because it is, by far, easier to

damage your chances than to improve themselves. So, be honest

and recognize your qualities.

Some people might advise you to devote your life to a charity

cause. It is another way to prevent you from going ahead of

them. Do you think that it would have been a great idea if

Pasteur had chosen, out of charity, to visit the poor instead

of inventing " pasteurization " ?

Then, choose the domain in which you will be able to

scintillate. Again, do not be humble. The satisfaction of

reaching a goal is proportional to the difficulty you encounter

to reach it. If you aim to learn arranging flowers, sure, you

will succeed, but you will feel as bored as today and your

thirst for something to fulfill your life will remain as

burning as it is right now. You need to be confronted with a

task exciting enough to prevent you from dropping it to go out

to eat, or to take time to order a pizza. If the excitement is

not rewarding enough, you are going to turn towards " the fridge

consolation " .

Your goal must also be rather difficult because you are going

to need time to change your way of life; so, decide to master

the violin, to write an anthology about Roman Poetry, to learn

a foreign language or to obtain a degree in chemistry; anything

requiring your intellectual faculties to fully work and that you

will not be able to complete in a couple of weeks is an activity

that deserves to be chosen. Of course, the better you like your

goal, the greater your chance to reach it, but do not worry:

usually, we are attracted by what we guess we are good at.

Not only " decide " to change, make your decision official:

proudness will help you to go on the day you are tired or

disheartened.

Multiply your chances to succeed by eliminating the childish

desire for " telling them " . If you suffer from not being

estimated at your true value, make yourself known to your own

eyes. The rest will come. Within three years you are going to

gain higher education that will lead you to higher income while

losing extra weight.

Sure, people will notice.
